Requiem for a Dream

This was definitely a hard movie to rate. This film is done in a unique format with great interactions, which I really enjoyed. It’s an mid level cost production film that has reached high goals by relying on exactly that. This movie represents the many consequences of drugs.

Requiem for a Dream

I watched it when I was 14 and it’s one of the most horrifying movies I’ve ever watched. This movie has stuck with me for YEARS but overall it is an incredible movie and very well done but I don’t think I could ever watch it again. The ending still haunts me. Don’t do drugs kids

Requiem for a Dream

This film left me with a mess of feelings. The guilt you feel seeing these people and knowing you’re not in that same situation, the sorrow u feel for them, the anxiety you get when you think about how the same could happen to you. It’s a great film and I watch it yearly.

Requiem for a Dream

At times disturbing and always intense, this flick offers its own acid trip fro viewers and is a firsthand look at four people who become trapped by their own hell. With spareness and unremitting cruelty, this movie shows his characters’ accelerated slide to destruction.

Requiem for a Dream

this movie was so good but highly disturbing. there were some parts that i had to look away for bc i honestly cannot stand needles and anything like that so some parts were a bit difficult to watch. watching it was truly an experience and tbh idk if that’s a good thing.
