A Must See for Recovering Addicts

It is a little disturbing to revisit demons that plague you when it comes to addiction. With that said, it is always important to never forget where you have come from. The movie is well done and served up with just the right touch of clever wit and humor to keep you watching.As a recovering addict, I wonder how this movie would have affected me at the beginning of my journey. I think that it would have helped me see that I was not alone while trying to find my way through all of the guilt and shame from damage done.I would like to see this offered at treatment centers. I think it would be interesting to help folks open up topics for discussion and thought.

Not for the everyday viewer

Many of the other reviews seem to focus on the plot of the movie, this review will mostly avoid that. To quickly sum the movie up it's about a guys struggle to stay sober for a year. All of that is well and good but they way the writers portray his saga could give you a headache. Most of the movie is spent jumping around time periods. At one moment it's the present and the next the past to the point that movie feels like it's battling HDHD. In addition the movie employs heavy use of metaphors to illustrate the main characters struggles. However it comes across as a poor attempt at trying to convey the depth of thought someone like Carl Jung or J krishnamerti might. A major drawback is the main actors representation of a person battling with sobriety, it's flat out not believable.
