Good rehab movie by A. Corso  4 Stars
February 27, 2009
While this movie was an "indie" film and the editing was not perfect, it makes the story line more real. I found that it was hard hitting for my guys that I work with and said volumes when the ending came. I found that there were some slow parts, but it felt like it was in a direction where people just needed to stop and think about their own life at those points.
Need more movies that don't glorify drugs but paints a reality for all of us.

excellent depiction of addiction by James C. Ward (Tuscaloosa area AL, USA) 4 Stars
January 19, 2009
I liked the characters in this movie- especially the main character (the actress did a great job, very believable). It's basically a "slice of life" movie in which you view the movie through this character, since she is in almost every scence. It shows how her addiction destroys her relationship, friendship, job opportunities, and health.
it was well written - using "everyday street language"; the film was so real it felt like a documentary to me.
this is a must-see for those interested in substace abuse, addiction, and recovery.

It feels fake by J. Canas (Costa Rica)  2 Stars
December 06, 2008
I just don't see it. The reviews are good and that is why I bought the movie, but it's plastic, not real. It just touches on the surface of the addiction without going deep into the moral retrogression. Is like they had a checklist of things they needed to show and a short time to do it, so they just rush the action. I don't recommend buying it.

It's f*ckin' right in your face by W. Van Haperen (Arnhem, Netherlands)  5 Stars
April 01, 2006
I saw this movie 5 years ago at the world premiere at the Rotterdam Film Festival. It blew me away, so good!! The movie is not for romantics, because it doesn't tell a happy story, not even a happy ending; but if you like films that make you think, and if you like good,natural acting, then this is your movie!

Life Changing by A. Bridges 5 Stars
January 13, 2006
I am going to a class for drug and alcohol abuse.
This film was shown, and it had the whole class quite.
Even the men in the class stayed and talked after the
film,which most the time is not the case. I remembered
the day my daughter and I talked on the phone, she
was out of her mind after a two day binge on x and I don't
know what esle. I am thankful, that was a day of change
for her life. I think this is a great film to share with
your teenage children, let them see the affects of drugs.
I felt as if I were living in the shoes of a young woman
addicted to drugs. Thank you for supporting independent
films, if there was an Oscar for Life Changing films
I am sure this would be a winner.
