This movie is sad, and I really felt it..

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2001)

I saw this with a friend in an almost desolated theater which brought up the overall mood of the picture. This movie is about drugs, and it presents drugs as drugs, not if it's good or bad, that is up to the viewer to decide. Though, the movie does not tell why these people take drugs, if it is to flee from the repetitiveness of everyday life or just ordinary teen-depression could be nice to know.
The mother is clearly my favorite character, representing the emptiness that could be found in a lonely life. Her reason to keep on breathing is to be on a nationwide TV-show and to be respected and loved by the audience, a goal which she more or less achieves by taking drugs..
Although this is a great picture, I felt at moments that time was stretched in order to fill a whole film, filling it with pointless scenes of trance states instead of more in-depth explaining why life sucks without drugs to the point where I have to become an addict.
7.5/10
