It is like Christiane F. written by Harmony Korine - which is certainly not a compliment -, a film that comes as another realization that realistic (which it definitely is) doesn't necessarily mean good, as it follows the empty lives of a bunch of hateful people who are not worthy of our time.
-
Won't be for everyone as there is no huge story. It just ambles along following the lives of a group of drug addicts. It felt quite true to life and was quite gritty, though not as disgusting as some films I have seen about addiction. I found it hard to care too much about any of these people apart from Arielle,and even she tested me a bit. Just wasted lives and frustrating to watch it honestly.

What's shocking isn't the violence, drug use, or how the characters suffer, it's how authentic all those things feel. I'm not sure I could ever bring myself to revisit this film, but I appreciate that something this raw exists.
