This should be mandatory preventive venturing to all who are thinking about trying on Drugs and mainly it should be included in a daily program of rehab. After the credits rolled, I was silent for a good ten minutes. I found that I had thoughts I wanted to express, but could find no words. This is one of the few films that are painful to experience, This film share a quality that's difficult to name. No one likes feeling disturbed or shattered by a film, a work of art, a piece of music, but I feel experiencing these emotions and being asked to think, not just be entertained, is important now and then. "Favorite" does not apply to this for me - this isn't about entertainment. One of the most devastating and beautiful experiences I've had watching a film. Excellent acting by the whole cast. Burstyn is superb. It is so refreshing to see such a great veteran like her in such a challenging leading role, She definitely deserves her Oscar nomination, if not, the Oscar itself, for her tour-de-france performance. Requiem for a Dream" is not a movie for everyone. It is the essence of independent filmmaking, a daring, engrossing, artful film that stays with you and it's now-become legendary music will keep playing in your head for years to come.
