Review of Requiem for a Dream (2000) by Anony — 26 Mar 2009
A powerful, underrated, classic film. Those who decry this movie as an overly simplistic caricature of the horrors of drug use completely miss the point of the film; what makes this film compelling and different from other drug films is its ability to show how drug addiction can afflict anyone and comes in many forms.
From television to caffeine to heroin, everyone self medicates, and anyone can fall victim to serious addictions, be they old or young.
