IDK I just felt really traumatized after watching this movie....then again I am also one of those compassionate types that likes to feel what other people are feeling so granted I am the personality and emotional type to be f**ked up by a movie like this. You do feel like you are descending into the pits of hell and some like black, bleak world while watching this film. It didn't appear that the objective of the director was to be kind to the viewer, but rather show drug addiction in a rather harsh, unflinching way to make you realize what drug addiction actually does.....it wil ruin your life. If all else fails this movie may be more effective than any scared straight program in steering people away from dabbing in drug use, as if to say drugs are not sexy, cool or trendy. And addiction, which is what the movie is really trying to portra straddles the lines between purgatory and hell until you feel yourself arriving in hell at the end of this immensely dark, depressing and horrifying movie. This film will haunt you for days, and possibly cause nightmares, so please this is not for people with delicate sensibilities like myself about life, and also don't make the mistake of seeing it alone like I did at 3 am. I'm still having nightmare, and above all else please don't do drugs.
