User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Perhaps the most disturbing movie I’ve seen.
This is absolutely beautiful . . . and devastating. It shows four characters trying to find meaning in their lives, trying to find love in their lives . . . but succumbing more and more to their addictions and delusions. There is hope all the while, and you can see it, while they can’t. It’s absolutely excruciating to watch, and I think I’m one of the few people willing to watch it more than once. This wasn’t just a good movie. It was a work of art. The book is just as good, although the author’s writing style is extremely unconventional and can be hard to follow at times. He (Hubert Selby) helped make this movie, too. It’s one of those rare cases where the movie is just as good as the book.

Watch it . . . and you will be devastated . . . but you’ll also feel like it was worth it.

Also some of the most beautiful and melancholy music I’ve ever heard in a film.

4 Stars Fantastic Journey
One of Aronofsky’s best movies and certainly a movie that should make its way into anybody’s collection.

4 Stars watch it.
well i did just write something like a 300 word review and it was deleted. so here’s my new one. Requiem= an absolutely amazing movie. It’s the best drug movie out there. If you liked either Trainspotting or Pi, watch this. If you liked Requiem, you should like either of those. By watching this movie you’ll learn more about yourself and hopefully feel better about your life. Make sure though that you are at least of age because the themes in this movie are very provocative and possibly offending. So just watch it.

2 Stars “Drugs are bad, mmkay. You shouldn’t do drugs, mmkay”
There is a lot of aesthetically pleasing and artistic camera and story work in this movie, but ultimately it comes off as an R-rated after-school special.

It’s not a matter of not liking sad stories. There are plenty of tragic tales that peak everyone’s interest (Shakespeare anybody?) but this one has such a blunt-force trauma aspect that it’s difficult to take it seriously. It says, “here are some people who do drugs and every conceivable absolutely horrid thing that can happen to them amplified.”

Perhaps the DVD cover should read, “Abandon all hope, ye who enter.”

5 Stars Unique Style. Graphic Reality. Good Movie.
This is a really good movie. Ever since my first time seeing it two years ago, I wanted to buy it. It isn’t for everybody but it is a classic. I like the way it uses the music in the movie and seems to have a good soundtrack. It uses different camera styles, repetitions, and strong emotional scenes to really make the audience feel way the characters feel. Yes, this is a serious movie even though Marlon Wayans is in it and he gives a good performance. For those who don’t know, “requiem” is a song of mourning composed or performed as a memorial, usually for a dead person. The title makes more sense after seeing the movie and knowing this definition. Sometimes the repetition can get to you but it does make you remember it. You may not want to see every part of it but you will not be able to turn away. The final 10-20 minutes are very intense and emotional. I have only seen this movie while in my 20s as I am now and only with people in their 20s so I can’t say how an older group of people will see this movie but I think most 20-30 yr olds who like drama and are open to looking at the plight of addicts/dealers will like this movie.
