Should have been a contender!

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2005)

It's a shame the US press blasted this movie as "glorifying" heroin use. Absolutely not true! This film shows friends some addicts others with different problems all together go through a few journeys.
Ewen MacGreggor (spelling?) is great. His withdrawal attempts are both funny, and dramatic. This movie is not a comedy, however does have a few well timed creative humor moments. This is another flick not meant for the faint at heart. There is a death due to feline fecal poisoning, and a baby death due to severe neglect.
Robert Caryle also does a great job portraying a non heroin addicted madman.
