Creepy, scary, lonely, sad, angry, and bitter. This movie brought up a lot of emotions for me. It started out with anger and resentment but then that transformed into sadness and fear. There isn’t much dialogue but so much is said throughout the film. What the fuck can you say about addiction? What can you say when someone is so cut off from the world around them? Nothing. You either wait until that person decides to not be cut off or wait for them to die.

Long shots. Really slow. Very relaxed. Gotta go…I really liked the scene with Blake in the tv room with the boyz 2 men song playing in the background and then a close up of the video. That scene made me feel really uncomfortable.

Last scene three driving in car on their way to LA. I re-felt the toxicity of getting clean. The dirty air waking up sick. Ugh. My stomach rolls.
