Devastating but illuminating look at alcoholism

Reviewed by dstyjfzj 9 / 10

Heartbreakingly Real without being Exploitive

Trigger warning: This documentary is not for a fun, relaxing day at home. It is a real look at addiction through the eyes of South Londoner's who are at the end of their addiction journeys, and possibly their lives.Even if you have seen addiction up close, Drinking to Oblivion takes you beyond everyday addiction, into when the everyday becomes a struggle for survival.Not exploitive like A&E's Intervention, we seen alcoholics as they live as an everyday person along with their families. Louis Theroux asks heart breaking questions, of which I could never find the courage to ask the addicts I love.So intense that I had to watch in two seatings, your find yourself pleading with them for a better outcome.
