Aronofsky's brilliant depiction of spiraling drug addiction

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2001)

There has been lots of buzz about this movie over the last few months, and I dismissed it all until I actually saw the film. Pure genius. We start with the characters which are real and easy to relate with, and move with them as they struggle to cope with their everyday lives, dreams, and addictions. We bond with them, and feel their pain as the go deeper and deeper into the abyss of drug abuse. Absolute brilliance. Dismiss everything you hear about this movie, and see it for yourself.
