Movie Review by Chris
February 1st, 2008

Punched in the Gut

This movie is not for the faint of heart. I never felt so empty after watching a film. With that caveat, you must watch this movie. No other film depicts drug addiction so vividly (or tragically). Based around four characters, Requiem for a Dream is one of the finest films ever made. The score by Clint Mansell still gives me chills. Ellen Burstyn's performance is spellbinding; Julia Roberts robbed Ellen at the Oscars for this film. You truly must prepare yourself to be emotionally drained after this movie.

I agree so much that Ellen Burstyn was robbed by Julia Roberts for every award.
