My cousin and I rented this movie because it is her favorite film of all time, and I had not seen it. After seeing that Aronofsky directed it I was quite excited to see it.
The film starts off following a few characters who are all addicted to some sort of drug, and thats pretty much the story, follow the characters as their addictions get worse and worse. Which for this film worked because I am sure this was the realist presentation of drug addiction in any mainstream film. Nearing the end of the film, when all the characters are on the brink of death the film feels like you are being drug through hell...you feel what the characters feel essentially. Nearing the end the movie gets really intense, and will not be for the faint of heart, but this is what makes the movie.
My favorite part of the movie was the visuals, they were really nice. From the lighting, close ups, blurs, it was all done very well and made the film a lot better for me.
Overall it was a decent film, good for what it was,I did feel depressed as fuck after it was over. But I am not supposed to feel good after a movie like this, because drug addiction itself its not a feel good trait.
