Query: maybe i expected too much.

to keep it simple.. i expected way too much out of this movie. friends had called it 'shocking' and 'amazing', but too me it was so tame, and hardly believable. maybe it's because when you see it after certain movies, and compare it to brilliant films dealing with drugs, such as 'Reqium for a Dream".. nothing is able to shock you anymore. (i think those who have seen Requiem and have seen this afterwards will agree). i know this is reed's true story, but i think she has made a little over the top. the only part of the movie i would watch repeatadly was when they are running around in the sprinklers. brilliantly shot, and the music is mesmirizing. unfortunetely, that is about the only brilliant and mesmerizing part of this movie. if you want to see a good movie dealing with drugs and teens.. see 'kids', 'bully' and 'requiem for a dream'. all three are amazing.
