Requiem for a Dream

Rating: 8.2/10
Genre: Crime
Overall value for money and time: 7.9/10

This is a dark movie about how the lives of 4 people are destroyed by the influence of drugs. The ending has one of the most disturbing scenes and the acting is so convincing you will feel like a part of you ended with the movie. I must applaude a character in the movie, the grandmother for a top class performance despite being a rather low profile actress. You will feel involved and emotionally shaken at the end of the movie, and the disturbing scenes will linger in your mind for a long time. It doesn't leave a good "aftertaste" but truly one of the most impacting movies I've watched thus far. Do give this movie a go for those who have strong "stomachs".
