Battle Royale With Cheese

However, leaving both men as they are and perhaps with their friendship being the only thing that holds them together, Clean Slate shows that not everything is like the movies.

'Clean Slate' candidly and unflinchingly details the terrible toll drugs take on people and those around them — as well as the will power and sheer determination needed to conquer those addictions.

One would think Clean Slate is a hopeful film, just like these documentaries always turn out to be. Nevertheless, in this one the situation is more complex. It’s more than hopeful and inspirational. It's real.

Rated: 4/5

Powerful and emotional the entire time! Watching the struggle with addiction and the relationship between the people in the film really pulls at the heart. It is a great eye opener for people to see what it's like to struggle with something like this.

The journey that the film takes you on is a great reminder that progress isn't always linear. A compassionate and honest portrayal of those who are in addiction recovery as well as the impact of their journey on friends and family. 10 out of 10!

I was surprised at the "movie about a movie" format, but I adjusted quickly! I think it was an awesome angle at the topic, much more engaging than a "straight ahead" approach. It takes some time to get invested in the characters, but once I started caring, I felt great affection for them. The whole vibe was real, raw, and honest. I'm rooting for these guys, and for the filmmakers. I believe this will help people a lot.
