I left the theatre feeling like I was beaten up!

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2002)

I have never had such an emotional and harrowing experience like sitting through this movie. The sad story of 4 drug addicts and the consequences of their addictions. All the performances are first rate, but it is Ellen Burstyn who delivers the powerhouse here. Your heart truly does break for her. After I left the theatre, I was sobbing all the way to the bus stop. All these young female Hollywood wannabees should see this and observe what it means to REALLY be an actor. I cannot tell enough people who will listen that "JULIA ROBERTS DID NOT DESERVE THE OSCAR!!!!" I dare anyone who isn't hopelessly in love with Julia to see this movie and they will know that I'm right.
