Wolfgang G Ein ausgezeichneter und außergewöhnlicher Film, der mich sehr gut unterhält und sogleich nachdenklich macht. Keiner von uns kann sich vorstellen wie schwer ein Entzug ist, geschwiege wie brutal der kalte Entzug sein kann. Gutes Drehbuch, und mit Nick Robinson sehr gut umgesetzt.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked it. It's low key with a driving narrative. The honesty of the situation feels brutal. I appreciated the sharing. Imagine a great comic story teller at an AA meeting. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A journey from from one rehab centre to another! There are some films from this director I liked, I consider them my favourites, but this is an average film. I always like his film story lines and characters, something better than what other filmmakers fails to do. This is another interesting theme and this time it was about the drug addiction. The story of a guy named Charlie, who just turned 18 and being released from a rehab camp for underage people. But his father who runs for the governor wants him to go for adult's rehab right away. He does not want to, but after no other option, he joins and meets a troubled girl Eva. A little romance blooms and followed by how it all ends bring a full stop to the narration. Looks a good theme, but the purpose was confusing. Of course, the drugs related issues, especially the film focused on the road of recovery from such addition. But it stayed more real than cinematic twists and turns. One way you will know how it all ends, but some of the characters were unpredictable. The end was good, concludes with a little message. Nick Robinson was really great. Initially I thought it was Jack O'Connell's film, mistook Nick Roinson as him from the poster. Lacks depth in narration, but really a nice film. At least you should watch it for Rob Reiner, if you're not convinced enough. 6/10 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member If you are going to watch a movie about a troubled kid you want to at least care about what he is struggling with and maybe get some resolution in the end, but this movie just never gives you that. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow and oddly paced, the characters and background felt uneven. However..the subject matter and bluntness of the actual therapy/rehab scenes and the main characters unwillingness to simply comply, but instead grow from within and learn and observe other addicts behavior was real to me. I felt there could have been more "meat" to the movie, but the outline by itself was very good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
