Daniel M. Kimmel Variety Drunks succeeds in presenting a fictional AA meeting and getting across the idea that alcoholics come from all walks of life... May 8, 2005 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times 'Drunks' is a thoroughly unsentimental group portrait of people in various stages of recovery struggling with the same inner demons that torment all of us.

Audience Member I'm grossed out by the overall rating. This movie is one of my new favorites. It might help if you are in recovery. It's a little dramatized (it's based on a play), but they are trying to say a lot in a little over an hour. And Richard Lewis is particularly great in this film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Damn shame this movie fell by the wayside. Brilliant monologues, brilliant performances. Very simple, well-told story. Great shots of mid-90's NYC. Definitely one to check out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I recommend this movie to everyone who has insomnia or sleeping problems.. it'll take you to Morpheus arms before you notice it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review jack c Richard Lewis plays a "version" of himself... which means this was part of his rehab. And he's phenomenal anyway. Other actors (Wiest, Posey, Rockwell) are great too, even if it's kind of repetitive. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Oppresive, banal, contrived and preachey. Not a caracter study but a study in the complete caricature of an AA frequenter. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
