Shocking

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2008)

This film was devastatingly amazing. Darren Aronofsky does not hold back at all, this is a rare film, one that does not contain a happy ending, in fact the ending is as far away from happy as you can get. Ellen Burstyn was robbed of the Oscar which she rightly deserved, all the actors were believable in their roles and made you feel sorry for them even though their turmoil was their own fault. This film shows drug addiction from a different, more shocking side and beautifully portrays the emotional turmoil that addiction makes people experience and shows how low addicts go to get a fix. This is one film that you will never forget and will change your life forever.
