This was the 19th movie I watched for the IMDB Top 100 Challenge.
IMDB rating: 8.4
My rating: 8.5
Requiem for a Dream was a very unique film. It followed the lives of several people and how they coped with drug addiction.
I thought the acting was pretty good, but nothing to rave about. The actors were believable, but the thing that really stood out about this movie was the unique film style. As a side note, this was the only good movie I've seen with Marlon Wayans in it (sorry White Chicks).
There are many quick camera changes and extreme close-ups, which I thought fit the film perfectly. Another thing that really enhanced the experience was the great soundtrack.
Requiem had a lot of gore and graphic scenes and would certainly not appeal to many people. It's no where near as bad as Saw, but it does have its moments. If you can handle this, you should definitely watch this movie.

I thought this was the best movie ever. I expected, like, nothing from this film: I'd seen it advertised and wrote it off as another edgy, depressing flick about troubled youth and aging, middle-life crisis aged men and women trying to find themselves. I was so wrong.
I thought that this movie was fresh and inventive, but took care to expose some gritty truths in an attentive way.
