Posted Jun 11, 2005 - This is the most intense movie I have ever seen. Everything is great about this movie. The acting, the directing, and the cinematography truly great about this film. Aronosfky makes you feel the characters pain with his direction.

Posted Aug 5, 2004 - The finest acting in the "oughts" (2000 to 2004) so far---the Academy shamefully overlooked Ellen Burnstyn. Her performance is the heart of this incredible or difficult film. You will not believe your eyes when you see what she goes through. Jennifer Connelly, Jared Leto and Marlon Wayans (appearing in his first dramatic role) are equally believable in this anti-drug film that does not glamorize its subject matter in the least. And it's brilliantly directed--you feel as if you are on the drugs with the characters, because of this direction. A perfect film.

Posted Apr 29, 2004 - Shoot me for saying this but I found nothing entertaining about this film at all. This is not the kind of film you watch if you've had a great day at work. Seeing such an amazingly talented actress like Ellen Burstyn dripping with sweat as she declines into a revolting drug habit and watching Jennifer Connelly perform a lewd sex act in front of a bunch of horny men was definitely not my idea of entertainment. Not something I would want in my DVD collection, it can stay on the shelf.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

Posted Jun 22, 2006 - This is a very disturbing film about the use of drugs and the effects it can have on people who use them. The director, Darren Aronofsky, does a fantastic job of letting the viewers become a part of the lives of four drug addicts. Without a doubt, this is not an uplifting movie and it seeing it on a date with another person will probably ruin your night. But that's why it's so great...drugs will make you miserable and they will also ruin your life. That's the feeling you get with this film after you watch it. It's powerful and depressing, and you may not want to watch it a second time. I would recommend that this movie be a part of every high school, and that it be a mandatory viewing for all high school students. I guarantee that they will never come near these drugs in their lifetime after they have seen Requiem For a Dream.

Strengths:

Posted Jun 15, 2004 - 5 stars, but a reserved 5 stars. An excellent movie that was also incredibly offensive and revolting at the same time. Why, you ask? The depictions of the lows of human nature which the characters enter are 100% revolting and disgusting. If you have a weak stomach, are opposed to depictions of sex, violence, drug abuse, etc., by all means DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. For those who can appreciate the extremely strong anti-drug message in this movie and stomach watching it, you will not want to watch it again. Once is enough. However, one of the primary reasons I give 5 stars is its possible service to those considering/experimenting with/involved in drug use. If you catch your teenager using or experimenting with drugs, preview this movie and STRONGLY consider making them watch it. It is offensive, but it can serve a purpose. For that, and the fact that it is generally well made, I find I must give it a great rating, despite the fact that I wanted to vomit.

Posted Mar 31, 2004 - This was an amazing film. I thought that the cinematography was fantastic, and all though it was quite graphic, the reality of it was very raw and drew me in. It is emotional and depressing, but enthralling and very well done. It is most definatley a movie that you need to watch closely and pay attention to- it is deep and detailed. 5 stars without a doubt.

Posted Dec 18, 2003 - This movie shocked me to no end- firstly because its in-depth, graphic look in the far-reaching use of drugs in America and secondly because the acting was incredible. By far one of the most depressing films ever but obviously the point of this film is not to entertain. It is an unconventional, disturbing piece meant to cause you to think. This film dragged me through so many emotions from disgust to empathy to nausea to extreme sadness. It is clearly not a mvie for the faint of heart as the depiction of these character's lives is relentless and painful. But its acting is magnificent and its storyline touches a deep chord in the heart.

Posted Sep 21, 2003 - Wow. This film was amazing, a true masterpiece. This movie really shows how drugs will destroy your life. The unique way the movie was filmed is what makes it so great, from each character's point of view. Yes, the ending is devastating, but what do you expect. Drug addiction usually doesn't lead to a happy ending. Even if you don't like sad movies, this movie will fascinate you and hold your full attention until the horrifying ending. This is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen..

Posted May 23, 2003 - A disturbing, brilliant and heartbreaking movie. If anyone labels this as just another drug movie, they need to look deeper to see that Requiem shows how someones pursuit of happiness can become an addiction. Ellen Burstyn is someone you would never forget as Sara Goldfarb and in the end, it was painful to see her slowly....rot. This movie must be shown to high schools when there is a lecture on drugs. Unfortunantley, due to some graphic content, that will probably never happen.

Posted Apr 7, 2003 - Have to rate this a 5 just because of Ellen Burstyn's amazing acting alone. It is quite unusual to have a movie be so thought-provoking and hopefully will be a wake-up call to some who are into drugs. I had no idea what this movie was about when I put it on and it was surprising, depressing, but very outstanding and well done.
