The most depressing yet motivational film ever made...

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 2003)

You've seen movies like Friday, Trainspotting and Chase, all of which make drugs out to be something you would like to try. Requiem for a dream on the other hand looks at drugs from the perspective of addicts to not only drugs, but to the dealing. If there is any film that would turn the biggest junkie into a bottle of water, this is it.
Film critic Haans Slalren stated in his review "The most depressing yet motivational film ever made". It is depressing in the fact that it portrays such a dark side of life, and shows how the most normal seeming people can have the most disturbing habbits. The motivational side is that it can turn any drug addict or even curious child back in the direction towards a new and better beginning or just to stop being so damn curious!
"Requiem for a dream" a 9/10 in the New York Times B3 section (2000)
