Review of Dose of Reality (2013) by Gary S — 13 May 2013

This movie had a really interesting plot - it kept me glued to the screen all the way through. I found in it a rare quality - I actually couldn't guess what would happen next which really helps with keeping you involved - I'm one of those people who can easily be bored by a movie if it is predictable so this was refreshing to see.

The story line touches on some delicate and potentially triggering subjects but they are portrayed really well in the movie. Fairuza Balk is incredible in this film - she really played and developed the role in such a way that it made the character become almost lifelike - there was a real depth to her performance in this film making it that much more enjoyable.

The ending of the movie involved a major plot twist which came as a complete shock; however it was both a good and bad ending at the same time. The concept of the ending was a fantastic idea and provided the much needed shock factor in a mystery/thriller movie - but I was left wanting more of a development of the ending.

All in all I would really recommend watching if you like a good mystery or thriller!
