Ronnie Scheib Variety Docu succeeds surprisingly well in illuminating the fearsome grip of crystal meth, which, in giving users a false feeling of invincibility, is undoing years of careful HIV control. Mar 6, 2007 Full Review Melissa Anderson Time Out If silence = meth, as posters in Chelsea remind us, then Corcoran's film at least serves as an ice breaker. Rated: 3/6 Mar 3, 2007 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times A graphic study of sex and drug addiction, Rock Bottom goes beyond the pieties of the recovery movements to confront deeper questions about the pursuit of sensation. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 2, 2007 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter A harmonic convergence... May 12, 2020 Full Review Ted Murphy Murphy's Movie Reviews ... a frank look at the devastation that addiction can cause. Rated: B Jul 14, 2007 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide It's not a pretty picture, and it's hard not to come away hoping the best but expecting the worst for Corcoran's personable subjects.

Audience Member Dir.Jay Corcoran's semi-riveting documentary focuses on 7 cases of the Meth epidemic and it's plague on the gay community's health issues, addiction, self-esteem, sexual compulsiveness, and HIV. Unfortunately, the documentary falls short of capturing a sense of compassion for the 7 subjects whose gritty lives indulge too much on self gratification rather than awareness for self-destruction. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is my life story. it perfectly depicts the life that homosexual meth addicts like me lead. i always love to get super high on meth and just let loose. i usually end up giving blowjobs to the entire party crowd. its AWESOME!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member this reminded me of my friend Kumar... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
