Review of The Acid House (1998) by M D — 30 Jun 2009
Two years after Danny Boyleâ??s amazing Trainspotting adaptation hit the screen, McGuiganâ??s film debut dramatized three stories from Irvine Welshâ??s collection of shorts, The Acid House, from which the film obviously derives its name.
Through the fortune of sub-titles, we come to meet a collection of people down on their luck that strike similarities to the young junkies of Boyleâ??s film. While as a whole it is incomparable to the aforementioned film, it marked the presence of McGuigan who goes on to make some nice films.
