Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter The problem is that, as anyone who has spent time with junkies knows, they're not a terribly interesting lot. Apr 28, 2017 Full Review Nathanael Hood Audiences Everywhere A Thousand Junkies is that rare film to expertly balance lunacy with pathos, dread and light-heartedness. Rated: A- Dec 27, 2018 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage Simultaneously absurd, playful, and horrific. Rated: B May 7, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Scott P I was an opiate addict for 20 years and this is by far the most accurate movie about dope ever made. Not only is it accurate but it's really good too. One of my all time favorites now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Bunk M The L.A. drug scene and it's player's good naturedness are highlighted here, and you'll root for these guy's tomorrows. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Audience Member good flick. r i p blake . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/22 Full Review Audience Member This movie is pretty dope!! (ha ha) A Thousand Junkies is a surprisingly accurate portrayal of the junkie scene. It very rarely made me feel like I was watching a movie, which is difficult b/c I've seen all of the actors in other roles. It's smart, funny, insightful, and fun. Pretty much every scene is well-shot, with a great gritty eye for detail. Music might just be the real star of this film. I usually know every song I hear in a theater. ThiS soundtrack had me pressing pause, and looking up music I had never heard before. I love to hear deep tracks like this in a film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Randomly came across this movie, didn’t expect much it wind up being a descent movie to watch Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/21 Full Review Audience Member Good, independent movie...worth checking out.
