Review of Requiem for a Dream (2000) by Helder N — 23 Mar 2015

I was surprised I did not add a review of this film earlier. Perhaps I forgot to.

Where do I start? This film is just an outstanding masterpiece. It delivers its content in a magnificent way. Although it took me 30 minutes to really start understand (a bit of) what was going on the film, the film gets possible to be understood after that quite easily. Truly a work of art. The story is phenomenal, actors are great, originality is top-notch and the overall quality of the film outbursts in hyper-sized shines (ironic, because it's a very dark film). There is much more that I had to write on this review, but I only like to make reviews right after watching the film, because a bit is forgotten and/or cannot be well explained, or put into words. Regardless, now the most important part of the review,.... I give this film a worthy 5/5, because it really deserves it. Totally on my favorite films of all time.
