Updated Version of Days of Wine and Roses

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2017)

In Brighton Beach, Brooklyn Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn), her son Harry (Jared Leto) and his girlfriend Marion Sliver (Jennifer Connelly) all dream of better days to come, but as in the 1962 film, "Days of Wine and Roses," that is not to be.
Instead of a husband and wife's decent into oblivion, it is a Mother, her son and his girlfriend. This is an intimate look into the decline and the inability to change ones' circumstances and how easily and quickly it all happens.
You will long remember this film, but I wouldn't suggest watching it if you're in a downward spiral of any kind.
