Junkie Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
kieferjp I understood in about the first 5 minutes what was going on, as I'm an addict myself. I personally thought the first 20 minutes of the movie were the best, and the last 10 minutes, everything else is filler, and is meant to drive the point home I guess of how the life in a way is like. You're crazy, you do crazy stuff, you're literally insane while in the life of a hardcore junkie, alcoholic.The woman at the start was his high, he looked at her with fear, and then she leaves. And than BAM your addiction kicks in begging you to call your dealer etc. Then it just goes off lol. All in all a powerful movie for the addict, not so much for non addicts.
ged_b If you watch this, do so with an open mind, and I mean WIDE open.It's incredible. While I was watching it I had the thought in my mind of something I read quite recently where some well known voice had derided addiction as disease. He (at least I think it was a 'he') stated that addiction is not a disease as with addiction one can choose to give up at any time, whereas with disease one can not. I.e. If I am an alcoholic, then I can stop drinking and get well, with some will power and support perhaps. If I have cancer I can't simply decide not to have cancer any more. Although this is true in some cases, as in cancer, it's certainly not true of all cases. Addiction is a disease, same as cancer, only it's a different type of disease.This film takes a deep, raw look at addiction, from a very interesting perspective. It's a kick in the face of the usual crap which deals with addiction.
Mike Jonez Wow i don't even know where to start... this movie is unlike no other and can only compare to requiem for a dream and fear and loathing in las vegas, those would be the only 2 movies I've seen that are comparable. i gotta say its a pretty tough movie to get through but once you get past the first 15-20 mins its gets more clear, interesting and you start getting a better understanding of the movie and whats going on... (some may be lost). this movie is very crazy and trippy. i did enjoy the ending and it explains the movie more if you were lost...watch this if there aren't many other things to watch, if you enjoyed the 2 movies i stated above you might enjoy this one... it says its a comedy though i didn't find many funny scenes but if some of you are into the dark insane crap
Jesse Boland Original this is. Good though it isn't. The video work is great for what they are dealing with, and sound,and editing are really much better than a movie like this should be aloud to have.If you get past the first 20 minutes, I am not sure if that would made me feel proud, or sad for you. This is a movie about Junkies. Not the trainspotting funny messed up people you don't really know, but the real dirt people. The 5% of society that will rip the teeth out of your head for a fix. The people who use each other, and know that even if you were dead, and they might miss you, your stuff will make their pain go away.I hate these people,we all do, and this movie though not glorifying them, is still just a load of horse in the wrong vein. Skip it, don't even read the liner notes.Such a shame to as these really are some of the LA actors that people like to watch perform.
