Review of Requiem for a Dream (2000) by Clay M — 18 Jun 2014
This is an impossible movie to rate. Did I like it? No. Is it extremely well made? Absolutely. This beautifully directed and acted movie is truly stunning. The most powerful movie I've ever seen. Never before has a movie truly disturbed me to the point of sweating or cringing.
Ellen gives a powerful performance especially near the end of the film. Requiem for a Dream has a very claustrophobic feeling to it and you will hardly be able to breath during the movie due to the intensity and atmosphere.
Lux aterna is a great song and the soundtrack really adds to the movie as a whole. A movie that is impossible to forget and will leave you stunned for a long time after the credits role.
