I have never smoked or used alcohol and I have only seen drugs on movies, even for a person like me, this was pretty much haunting. I cannot imagine what a drug using person who feels guilty for his deeds would go through when watching this film. I cannot hate this film nor like this one beyond a film. No other film has showcased the ill-effects of drug use like this before, which includes usage unknowingly. It shows you all forms of addiction and is a bit sort of shocking for the light hearted. The background music is really good and the acting is spot on, especially from the actress who plays the mother.
