Requiem For A Dream


Teaser: A very psychadelic tale of four individuals whose addiction to drugs dictates their every move. While they are constantly trying to better themselves, each move these individuals make "forward" sends them spiraling down to one of the most gutwrenching conclusions in movie history.

Best Features: The music makes you feel like you are experiencing what the characters are experiencing. The performances are spot on. The visuals and editing are perfectly melded with the atmosphere of the scene.

Worst Features: The movie is, quite literally, emotionally disturbing.

This film is, without equivocation, the most visceral movie watching experience I have ever had. I have never had fictional characters emotionally drain me like the four protagonists of this film. This is by far, in my opinion, the best movie Aronosfky has made (Black Swan, Pi, The Wrestler, The Fountain).

My Ranking: Top 5 Entire Drama Genre
Rotten Tomatoes: 78%
