Review of Clean and Sober (1988) by Tom S — 12 Mar 2009
A great study about addiction, much better than the jarring "fear and loathing" and "requim for a dream" which focused more on the immediate effects of being high rather than addictive behavior which, in the long run, is actually more interesting dramatically.
Keaton is a great actor, probably his best work it's too bad he doesn't make better choices like this one. The story loses some pace when the love interest enters the picture but I suppose that makes sense, little else can give meaning to an addict.
Great ending too, really explores how addicts see themselves.
