Bleak, but brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2011)

I think it is fair to say that this is a film that unquestionably does not take its subject matter lightly. When approached with an open mind, this film will suck you in, and give you insight into the most foulest depths of depravity and denial that addiction can bring.
The casting, cinematography and editing are excellent, and allow you a perspective into a world that most us have no understanding of, and in parts make you honestly despair as you are drawn into the whirlpool of desperation the characters inevitably slip into. Its almost harrowing to watch, but worth every second of the runtime. Although not it's intention, nothing else could portray the destructive effects of drugs better.
