Requiem for a Dream

Apollo Score:

Readers' Rating: 84/100

Summary

Darren Aronofsky's film about addiction and its effects on people of all sorts is horrifyingly honest yet stylish. The combination of a brutally direct script, creative use of visuals and an effective soundtrack is exceeded only by strong performances, especially by Ellen Burstyn.
