I lost my niece this year, very devastating for my family. This film is a definite must see, as it touches on how serious this issue is. I definitely will promote everyone I know to watch. Great job!

Too close to home
after a second revisit...i'm stunned
Rereviewed 13/11-21 To the core of my skelletal bones, i feel like ive been scollded yet again, in my innerest of emotions ripped apart from viewing this cult film that seemingly noone has seen . Im not an addict but ive lived among addicts, and this film is the most brutal and to the finger tips consequental, and such a good example of how serendipitous life can be. When the caracter says ''it was me who should lay there ''(dead in the coffin) then im really stumblin'. So a big hug to the director bridget smith, for making films like this, youre a lifesaver, and a giver of sense.
Having seen A few addiction films dealing with this epidemic, not only in the usa, has led me to view this one too, and both me and my wife sits here in shock and awe having witnessed some of the toughest and roughest kind of addictiveness in young age weve ever seen. It takes you to the highest hi, to the lowest low, til you reach the point of no return and 6 feet below is a fact...
this film is pure scary stuff to scare youth at the same age and even younger , much like ''cristiane f.'' did when i was a young adult, and im pretty hardened on stuff like this, but this was the most dire ive ever seen. Thank god im not working directly with these kind of medical issues in my profession as medical nurse, i would have ceased in promtu, cause this was extremely scary.
I praise the makers for not hiding anything away under the carpet when making this movie, and their choice of music to this film, this soundtrack and lyrics are sown into the plot as a bonus experience. Also the quick shifts from good, bad to worse and ever worst stages of life and the straining of the stories, that usually wrecks films ,do enhance the story extremely well.
So if youre an anxious parent or addicted yourself, view this before its too late, and seek help if you need too. Its a strong 9 from the grumpy old man.
