FOR REHAB PATIENTS ONLY

Rating: 5/10 (21 April 2002)

This is not a film but rather a very frightening story of drug addiction and abuse as experienced by four different personalities in today's Coney Island. Not a pleasurable experience and none of the characterizations evoke much sympathy except Burstyn. There is no development of the addictions here as in "Lost Weekend", "Days of Wine and Roses" or others of that nature. These people are hooked when we meet them and it doesn't get any better.
