Requiem for a Dream Audience Reviews

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

monica-42283 To begin with I thought this is the kind of movie to show teenagers for them to understand the danger of drugs. I loved how this movie delivers the emotions these charactheres are going through by using this wonderful editing. Wonderful movie and defenetly worth watching more than once.

samantha_theall Requiem for a Dream is one of the most gut-wrenching movies I have ever seen. It's fast paced and dives right into drug addiction. The characters stories makes them relatable. You begin to feel for them. The deeper they get into their addictions, they harder it is to watch. Towards the end, I caution anyone that has any issues with anxiety. I'm one that prides myself on my love of horror and the love of being afraid. This movie, however, shook me to my core. Would I watch it again? Not likely. Would I recommend it? No. Would I encourage someone to watch it if they wanted to? Definitely.

DerekB It's hard to say if Requiem for a Dream was made to shock and disturb, or tell a suspenseful and intriguing story. One way or another, it succeeds at both by showing the horrible effects of crime and addiction can have on people.Some of the acting and camerawork can come off as sub-par at times, but it's easy enough to get past since the vast majority is spot-on. Many scenes use time lapses and multiple shots playing on different parts of the screen. These kind of effects are used to amazing effect and add a lot more artistic flair each sequence.Something a lot of people neglect to think about when talking about movies is the sound design, and I don't think I've ever experienced better use of sound design than in Requiem. Music is playing nearly constantly throughout the movie, and makes scenes that are already very intense and emotional have even more potency. At one point, I actually nearly fell out of my chair because I thought something had shifted in my room when a sound effect was positioned perfectly.The problem I have with Requiem is that for about 20% of the movie, I just felt sick from just how horrible the situation was. I suppose that really is the strongest thing about Requiem, and why I think a lot of people would really hate watching it. I'd say that anyone who likes drama or tragedy would likely enjoy it, even if it's a bit much to take in at times.

Majikat A fascinating downward spiral of both socially inaccepted and socially acceptable drugs. This non-glamorous view to a world beyond anyone's choosing could never be accused of making narcotics of any kind appealing.
