Review of Permanent Midnight (1998) by Scot C — 24 Mar 2011

Ben Stiller like you've never seen him before, in a drama! It is quite refreshing to see him in a more serious role, and he does a very good job playing Jerry Stahl. Jerry Stahl did a lot of drugs, heroine mostly, and at a long period in his life he did it every day.

So I actually lost count how many times Ben Stiller gets the needle out in this film. It can be difficult to watch a main character in a film on a continuous down spiral, and at times it is in this story.

But it really gives you a great idea of how drugs can ruin every area of ones life! So it's an interesting look at the more hidden area of Jerry Stahl's life. Good film.
