No desire to see it ever again...not because it was bad...

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2007)

...but because it was so good! It's so heartbreaking and sad to see a film as powerful and numbing as this. What really jumps out at you in the end, is that you can't simply say to yourself 'whew, at least these are just characters and a fake plot', then close your eyes and go to sleep. It sticks with you because you realize that this is not a story of fictional circumstances, but that there are people every day living the nightmare that these four went through, and in the end, all their potential is lost. That is what makes this film such a bittersweet triumph.
I got laughed at by some friends when I told them how after watching this, I'd be surprised if anybody would want to do drugs. And frankly, if you DO still want to do drugs after a viewing of this film, there is something wrong with *YOU*. But personally, I really like my arm, and would like to keep it there.
Sad, yet enlightening. It is a film that gave me such a numb, humbling feeling that I have no desire to relive the feelings it gave me. Only the best films can do that.
