Extremely Powerful and Depressing Drama.............

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2011)

I was not expecting it to be a wonderful movie because I didn't like The Wrestler much, Black Swan was pretty good but not great. I just watched it because I was free and I had the DVD.
The movie surprisingly is original. It has potential... because of its powerful story, it was strong. I was curious and was thinking about the characters ...like how they would have been feeling and that must be pretty bad.
I watched the director's cut which is the most graphic version. (still not that explicit) and I did find the movie extremely depressing. The last 15-20 minutes are the best part of the movie (One of the best sequences I have ever seen)..... The movie starts normal and the intensity of emotions and story starts increasing and the ending become extremely potent and hard to watch.
The performances by the entire cast are WONDERFUL. The direction and screenplay are solid. The Original score is awesome.
Overall Requiem for a Dream (2000) is unforgettable........ not only because its disturbing but its very well made in all aspects.
9/10. Recommended.
