Someday, I'll write about this "film."Someday, I'll write an actual review;a long, and hopefully well constructed one,voicing my thoughts on its replication of reality.For now though, it's much too raw, much too close of a memory.I never thought that I would actually see my friends again:the ones who died, the ones who I lost to chemicals,to impulsivity,to dependence,to attempts at escape.Never knowing what they were risking,the hurt they would cause,the sadness that would spawn from their whitening faces,their lack of blood flow, their ends.Heaven knows what?Heaven knows nothing.This "film" is no film at all.It's a mirror, and I want to break it, so that I never have to look into it again.Never see their faces or hear their shouts,their reminders of what is black and can never be fought.
Was never a homeless junkie, but I have been high on heroin at a White Castle, so I can definitely say that part is pretty realistic.
It follows a young woman struggling with heroin addiction in New York City as she navigates volatile relationships and a daily cycle of survival.
It was directed by the Safdie brothers, Benny and Josh, who are known for their gritty, high-anxiety style of urban filmmaking.
