Below average drug addiction movie. One of the
problems to start with is that we don’t really see any drugs. There is also
couple of murders at the end which again we don’t see. Cate Blanchett has sex
under the shower and – yes, you’ve guessed it – we don’t see her tits. And this
shit goes on and on. Maybe this is because director was too busy with those
annoying grainy shots where everything is out of focus? Or wanted so bad to
make arty festival film since his entire opus seems to be some TV crap
(according to IMDB)? He sure
didn’t forget to include lots of ridiculous clichés.Like having fuzzy hand-held home video like shots of kids playing on the beach at the beginning and then again at the ending of the movie.
The only saving grace for this pretentious
moralistic sleeper is Sam Neill. He doesn’t have lots of scenes, but he is a joy
to watch.
So if you want to see good stuff about
addictions, go check again Clean
or Requiem for a Dream. The
only message you’ll get from this one is “Kids, don’t do drugs unless you want
to live with your folks and work at video store when you are 32”.
