Jason J Oct 17 What a really good movie. I don’t know why it only got 27%. Aaron Taylor Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton were cold. As were all the rest of the cast. See more Louise C Jul 18 I agree with several others' reviews. All in all, not up to par, beside other films of similar ilk. See more Ben S 03/31/2024 Although it had moments of gritty, hard hitting realism that portrayed the gruesome clutches of addiction, the film as a whole lacked a sense of impact or direction. The ending felt as though the darkest moment of the film had been completely glossed over, lacking the trauma response required to make it impactful. Additionally, the lack of exposition creates an unrelatable protagonist, characterised only through his swaggering, aggressive demeanour that lacks much of the nuanced presentation of anything deeper. The cinematography is, for the most part, artistic and engaging, and Taylor Johnson's performance is convincing, yet the full product feels a little underwhelming due to our lack of care for his character. See more 02/08/2022 Big fan of addiction-struggle movie here, but the story poorly inspires me. Hate to rate this with 2/5, since Aaron Taylor-Johnson's dedication to this movie is so amazing. See more 02/06/2022 A quiet, handsome, uneventful film which failed to grab my attention past the first scene. Characters are remarkable only for their lacklustre adherence to cliche in lieu of personality. The lead actor looks less a moribund addict than a model undergoing a particularly rough bout of hayfever. Truly pointless. See more Ken R 01/19/2022 While maybe not always completely successful in conveying its important message, this work wears its heart on its sleeve. At times it's a hard watch, with some slightly over the top details but offers important considerations to all those booked in for serious detox treatment; A: Think seriously about all the challenges, regardless of your biased beliefs. B: Remember, others before you, have overcome their petty and physical opposition towards the cures outlined stages, and gone on to win the battle – give up and you're lost. Good performances manage to keep it on target and it's always interesting to see Australian Odessa Young on screen (even though here quite bleak) The co-writing and direction by the co-writer/lead performer's brother is competent and the two eventually manage to make us feel for the subject. Between the above-average cinematography, there's also a hard-working soundtrack helping to move it along. A couple of early, overindulged scenes finally give way to serious outcomes – even if not all as fully desired. Note: Heavy language, nudity, drug use. See more Read all reviews
