Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Quite simply, the film, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki, will break your heart. Jan 4, 2016 Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters This one straddles lines, formal and aesthetic, moral and diagnostic. That straddling makes judgment difficult. Still, of course, you're inclined to judge. Rated: 8/10 Jan 8, 2016 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com "Christmas morning every morning, who doesn't want that?" says one of the sad young people in the chilling new documentary Heroin: Cape Cod, USA where seemingly well adjusted suburban kids are lured into heroin through painkillers.

Audience Member There are better documentaries around addiction. Could've focused more on how the community setting contributes to addiction. Or the medical side. The personal stories were interesting, but they didn't dive deep enough. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The issue I had with this doc is that focused too much on the individual cases vs talking about the heroin addiction situation in Cape Cod. But I guess the point of this one is to focus on individual cases and getting to know them somewhat intimately so that we have a vested interest in their outcomes. It was ok... not bad but not good either. As usual my heart goes out to each and everyone of them as I used to be addicted. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Legalize & make available for free on demand all opiates & addiction & overdose treatment now! Many lives will be lost but many more will be saved in the balance wilh much less crime & mayhem And and and MUCH LESS NEEDLESS PAIN to so many who will never get addicted. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member equally eye opening and heartbreaking Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review patrick h Unflinching and heartbreaking Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jack c Not enough about Cape Cod or the medical side of things. Should've been longer. Otherwise alright and competent, but nothing you wouldn't see on Intervention. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
