Coming from someone who has worked in the addiction field in just about every capacity as well as dealt with it in my personal life I feel this is a very accurate depiction of addiction. From the conflicted mother trying not to enable her kid but not being able to trust a word that comes out of her mouth. To the addict who wants to get clean but continues to struggle despite the disgust she has for her addiction. It's so accurate it makes me cringe. Phenomenal acting. The mother trying to control every aspect of the addicts life and just falling short is just way too accurate.
I can tell you think brings to light, very accurately, the balance between an addict trying to get clean and needing support, and not having any trust from those that can provide it. It's so accurate, so balanced, and ultimately demonstrates the broad impact that addiction has on everyone in the addict's universe. And....shut up MEG! 😉
This is a beautiful emotional touching movie. It tackles a serious topic, that we've seen a lot in previous films, but it's still interesting and important to watch. The story is beautiful, sad, well written and unfolds beautifully. Performances by Glenn Close and Mila Kunis are both superb.
I work in EMS and don't see this side of heroin addiction very often. It's pretty touching and hopefully is able to impact someone out there. Definitely a new role for Mila Kunis. It was hard to see her in a different role but I think she did good. Worth the watch if you need a break from the everyday super hero movies!
This film is really touching. It tells the horrible struggles of both the addict and the family members. The story is raw and real. I think it's really worth watching.
