An incredibly touching film of addiction, loss and family. Confronting and powerfully honest.

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2019)

Requiem for a Dream is a 2000 American psychological tragedy film directed by Darren Aronofsky. This is a somewhat unusual movie, displaying a variety of cinematic techniques, which mostly work well. It really drew me in, and by the end I had connected with the characters and their downfall. An interesting but ultimately tragic film.
