Very disturbing

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2001)

What about this movie? It's excellent! Doesn't happen to often that a movie disturbs you like this one. Ellen Burstyn's role is capital to the success of the movie, it shows us that addictions are not confine to young persons dealing with drug or alcohol.
Burstyn and Leto both give a five stars performance, so as Jennifer Connelly. I remember her from her first movie, Once Upon a Time in America, back in 1984, where she was playing the beautiful Deborah. Back then, she was 13, I was 12, and I was in love with her! Her performance in Requiem for a Dream is, without a doubt, one of the best I've seen lately.
An true eye opener.
9 out of 10.
