One of the most compelling and hard to watch movies.

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2006)

I watched this movie alone and felt somewhat emotionally shattered afterward. However, it is one of the most compelling and brutal movies. It follows the lives of four drug addicted people. Sara, her son Harry, his girlfriend Marian, and Harry's best friend Tyrone. Each character tries to fulfill his idea of a recipe to attain happiness. I watched helplessly on the sideline as they all spiraled into a deeper pit then I even imagined. It is so well done that I felt sick to my stomach at the end because I felt so entangled in the characters lives. The movies was quite graphic. It's very hard to put into words. Just see it if you can handle it.
