MarcissusMar 27, 2013*Edited 4/24/26. Thank you all so much for the love on this review!* The word "trainspotting" can mean different things. If you read it literally, it sounds like the act of watching trains at the station pass you by. Or maybe even "spotting" them as a hobby. It's can…

this film was a mix of sadness, comedy and disgust, especially the part of the toilet. other than this it’s an absolute classic and it portrayed in a really realistic way what it was like being addicted to heroin and trying to get out of it. so choose life
Jimmy Cricket lovedTrainspottingAn amazing film filled with energy. It’s fast paced and surprisingly funny. It’s the best drug film out there because it shows you why addicts get hooked and why they stay in instead of just the misery. It’s also scary with the realistic depiction of addiction and withdrawal.
anna lovedTrainspottingabsolutely insane. so tense, raw, sometimes even disgusting and disturbing. i enjoyed each minute and character, and i probably will never forget some scenes. the soundtrack was brilliant and the ending was simple but fit so well. 9.6/10

One of my all-time favorite movies. Some of the best directing, writing, and acting ever put on screen. Also one of the best movie soundtracks ever put together. Highly recommend
leumas lovedTrainspottingBest thing about this was the soundtrack
Ciaran Fourrier likedTrainspottingThis is a very offbeat feeling film. The editing surprised me in many instances most notably the toilet scene. My main complaint is that the characters’ Scottish accents are so strong and they speak so fast that I was mainly just reading the subtitles instead of watching the film

10/10 One of a kind movie, it portrays addiction in all of its forms so well, the visual effects, acting, and soundtrack bring the story to life. The plot is one hell of a trip I was entertained the whole time although it was very sad and disturbing too. not gna spoil go watch.
Henry lovedTrainspottingTruly phenomenal. Demonstrates how the ‘other half’ live if you will. Has a mixture of comedy, sadness, drama and grossness. In a way this film is very innovating in terms of cinematography and design. Some really great acting seen on display here. Rating: H- 10/10
Kevin lovedTrainspotting8/10 - I went through so many emotions watching this movie. I experienced disgust, sadness, empathy, disappointed and relief, to name a few. This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Great story, characters, writing, score and cinematography.
