I'm not even quite sure where to begin on this one. I guess I'll start by saying this:
This movie was easily the most disturbing films I have ever watched in my life.
The tricky thing is, is that I can't exactly pinpoint why. I knew going into it that it was a movie mainly about different kinds of addictions, and how those addictions destroy the intertwining lives of the four main characters. I knew it wasn't going to be a happy movie, let alone with any sort of happy ending. Still, I'd heard so many good things about it, so I thought "What the heck? I'll watch it. It's just a movie."
The best way to sum it up is this: It's a movie that should be seen, but not re-watched. I honestly don't think I will ever sit through it again. There's just something so real about it; maybe it's the fact that there's so many people in the world with self-destructive addictions and this is a window of what it's like to be in that position that makes this one of the scariest films I've ever seen. This is the kind of thing that is happening every single day.
The film itself is incredible. The performances are so believable. The music, as most people know, is beautiful. The editing is brilliant. For all intents and purposes, this is a four star movie.
A four star movie that, if I can help it, I will never watch again.
*Once again, this was another movie that Maddie did not view. It was never given a rating but should not be watched by anyone under the age of 18.
