Exquisite Sewer Voyage

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2015)

I found this a brilliantly scripted, excellently acted, inventively directed and edited, professionally shot, beautifully produced trip through a sewer of bad choices and awful consequences and drugs-will-mess-you-up-forever.
This is in many ways the same film as Trainspotting and SLC Punk! and Where The Day Takes You and Drugstore Cowboy. Drugs will mess you up. Forever. Yes, I know that. I don't want to spend two hours looking at it, no matter how well you present it to me.
I think so many love this sort of thing because it reinforces their existentialist world-view: "Life sucks, then you die." Why else would films that do little but *make you feel bad* so often get glowing reviews?
If that's your view of life, then maybe this film is for you. But if you're like me, you'll thank me for saving you from watching two hours of misery and suffering.
You're welcome.
