Are we suppose to take this film seriously?

Rating: 5/10 (12 October 2001)

***SPOILERS*** "Requiem for A Dream" is a very stylish, extremelly well acted film. It held my attention for most of its running time. Unfortunately, it ends up being too preachy and over the top for my taste. Amputation, incarceration, psychosis and impossible prostitution (watch the size of that dildo!) are all cramped in the film's conclusion. I would have laughed...but it was all so disgusting and exploitative that I couldn't do it. 5/10
