Critics Consensus

A chaotic drug movie that has little substance behind the stylistic flash.

Like an ex-addict reminiscing over their days of dependence, it's dead behind the eyes: hollowed out.

It never quite convinces you this is anything but a fashion shoot.

The mix of a fast pace, animated moments, and the always nuts Rourke makes for an entertaining flick

Mesmo com seu timo elenco, esta cpia sem personalidade de Vamos Nessa! e Rquiem para um Sonho o exemplo perfeito da expresso 'muito estilo para pouco contedo'.

This feels like a cross between Gummo and something Paul Thomas Anderson might create. The characters in this are great, and the cameos are good too.

Tedious and draining to get through. It's hard to like any characters except Brittany Murphy. John Lequizamo is sleaze personified in yet another role. I think I'm done watching anything with him in it.

The greatest drug movie ever made. Simultaneously hilarious and tragic, this masterpiece is wonderfully shot and edited. Chaotic and uneasy. The soundtrack by Billy Corgan is amazing and the cast is perfection!

There are only a handful of movies that accurately portray what drug use is like. This is one of them.

Spun is a very accurate, but overly hammy account of life in Eugene Springfield at the time. All day, every day. Tribute to the music(Ozzy), tribute to the culture/subculture ( incredible drugs), TRIBUTE TO BRITTANY MURPHY RIP we love and miss you.
