Review of Requiem for a Dream (2000) by Connor A — 20 May 2014

The term "nightmare film" does not mean a film that is so terrible that it was a nightmare to make, rather it refers to a film that it the living embodiment of a nightmare that one would have.

Requiem for a Dream plays out in a way that can only have been drawn from someone's deepest psychological terrors that come out to play in the time of twilight, in which the definite barrier between reality and hallucination is commonly deteriorated.

This is probably one of Mr Mackey's favourite movies.
