So a lot of people rave about the horridly depressing Requiem for a Dream as being the end all of heroin movies but those people would be so very wrong having never viewed the comical yet extremely heart wrenching movie Trainspotting. This movie follows a rag tag group of junkies without jobs who are just doing anything to make it by and get a little bit more dope, and the way they do is pretty hilarious. The first hour of the movie is mostly laughs until that comes to a screeching halt after which follows some of the most depressing cinema I've ever seen.
Overall - 8.5/10
This kind of stuff is hard for me to watch. Not sure if I can handle it.
ReplyDeleteI don't deal well with depressing cinema as well, but I might watch it if I need a good cry.
ReplyDeleteThe baby in the ceiling scene really stayed with me for a while after watching this one
