A master piece with disturbing parallel

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2011)

This movie was a blast for me and I thought it was very very well done. A must see for sure, although not for general audience (some humor but tough scenes, both on the emotional side and to some extent, some violence coming from the sordid environment). The casting was quite good - from the main characters, in my view Harry and Sara, to the secondary ones (Marion, Tyron), all play with a pretty good dynamic making the movie and storyline believable. I found the idea of making a parallel between street drugs and controlled drugs a very smart base for this story - In one hand, Harry goes down a trail of addiction, business from drug then go onto a swirl down to hell ... while Sara on weight loss pills become addicted and end up hallucinating and being hospitalized. Both and a the characters are in search for happiness, success, recognition ... they never get. This is a MUST see.
