This film marks, to date, the only time I have ever been left in stunned silence during the end credits. Emotionally draining, soul destroying and yet beautiful, well acted and genuinely thought provoking - a depressing masterpiece. And that soundtrack, just wow.
Makes Trainspotting look like a light-hearted comedy at times.

I found myself halfway through the movie having no fucking idea where it was going. I decided then that I absolutely hated this movie. I didn't realize what was going on and every minute I continued watching I kept asking myself why I was not turning it off. When the film ended I realized it wasn't the movie that was so bad or that was making me despise it. I got so into the characters lives that I kept hating…

Darren Aronofsky's drug-addict drama, Requiem For A Dream, had been on my list for a while. Prior to watching this, I had only see Black Swan. I have always wanted to get into Aronofsky's work, but never got time to do so, until now.
The film revolves around four aspiring drug-addicts who go out of control when their addictions to prescription and illegal drugs over take them and their lives. Just like Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless…

Requiem for a Dream puts the D in depressing. I have never felt so much pity for a bunch of characters that deserved what was coming to them, is like watching a car accident, is horrible but you can't…

I don't know how it is possible to LOVE a film that is this depressing, but I do! Aronofsky really digs into the lowest possible points here and stylizes them beautifully. I think what makes me love it as much as I do is that there is absolutely no hope. You pretty much start at the high point (which isn't really that high to begin with) and it is just a continuous downward spiral with no happy ending in sight.…

A gentle, heartwarming romp through the fields of recreational and pharmaceutical drug use.

They want there life to be a game show. This films messed up, I don't know what it is but I thought it was amazing but I didn't like it. I can see why its amazing but as much as pulling me in as an audience member it pushed me away as a person. In short its the story of three people who are all connected but their stories are their own. Its mad, the montages were amazing and the…

A film that left a mark on me, and even after 7 years passing since I first watched it, have not re-watched despite its greatness.
A great film but so draining you won't be watching it again and again.
Must watch...at least once.
