Review of Requiem for a Dream (2000) by Matthew H — 15 Jul 2014

While this is one of Aronofsky's better movies with some great cinematography and style,the first half of Requiem For a Dream should be as powerful, potent, and viscerally emotional as the second. However, few movies have been able to capture what drug addiction does to our bodies, to our minds, and to our lifestyle so well.

If you want someone close to you to stop drug addiction, make them watch this movie; it's *that* shocking.
