Compulsory Viewing for Teenagers?

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2000)

Brilliant!
A deeply disturbing, gut-wrenching movie. All the actors are
terrific, but Ellen Burstyn and Jennifer Connolly are stand-outs.
Not a date movie, not even "fun" to watch...but well worthwhile.
I think it should be a field trip for high school seniors, and
should be played whenever possible to anyone with inclinations toward drug abuse.
A very clever, thoughtful film, that will undoubtably shake
you up.
