At the moment that I write this review, there are eight earlier reviews, of which no less than seven rank it a 10 out of 10, all with jubilant texts and such hyperboles as "brilliant", "extraordinary", "terrific", and even twice "masterpiece". I'm seriously dumbfounded: did they really watch the same movie as I did?!? Because it's (in my humble and down to earth opinion) simply terrible. It's totally uninvolving, repetitive, tedious, and my 4,95 euro to stream it were the only reason that I sat the whole thing out.

There is a total lack of any narrative, it's just 85 minutes of watching three persons having sex, smoke, using all sorts of drugs and totally flipping over it, having sex again (and again and again), screaming and yelling at each other, and behaving as erratic as possible. All this in the uninspiring setting of a crummy apartment. Main character Guy (Israel Ogalbo) is at least remotely sympathetic, but his BFF Joy (Moran Rosenblatt) is extremely obnoxious and completely hysterical, every scene with her made my ears pop. And Dan as the mysterious outsider is just weird and creepy. Towards the end something (meant to be) horrendous happens, but it was so amateurishly staged (so you see her, so she's - whoosh! - gone!) that the effect was simply ludicrous.

There's a lot of gay sexual content (being gay, I admit that's what attracted me in the first place), but it was all way less provocative than the synopsis suggested: it's a lot of bare bottoms, but that's about it, so even that didn't make this experience any more bearable. The end suited the rest perfectly: Guy waggling naked and in some kind of drugs-induced stupor along the street to whatever profound concluding moral the makers may have had in mind. I heaved a deep sigh of relief and exasperated waggled to my bed.

This movie will keep you riveted until the very last moment. It is compelling, deep and emotional. It's brilliant because it's so true and touches on the very realities that are part of our world, which are harder to accept. It's almost like this movie came to wake us up to the reality that we try to avoid. I heard a person in the audience behind me say how thankful she is that this is brought to light because it reminds her of times in her life. The filmography is also brilliant. The angles in which the camera is placed and the story it chooses to tell, left us talking about it for days. The Director did an unbeatable job!

This film reminds me of the film and the book of "Christiane F". It left me speechless. I was very much impressed of the fact that the film/script takes place in one location. I have seen very few films that worked in one place/location. It a very difficult task to keep the tension and the phase working in one location. In this film the filmmakers definitely succeeded. I felt I was with the characters every minute of the film. As if I was going through the same emotional process that they are going through. The acting, directing is utterly superb! I did know who is the DJ who wrote the music but it made me look for his bio and work. Great musician! I highly recommend that film!

Wow! I have watched the film a week ago and it still stays with me! I couldn't fall a sleep for hours after watching. I wanted to call my kids see that they are all ok. To talk to them. The film totally moved me! It had a big impact! Still trying to analyse why. I think it is so well done. Everything about it! The directing, the camera work (wow)! The acting! (Israel Ogalbo give a memorable performance! Itching all of the actors are just fab!). This film should definitely get a wide distribution! It must! It should be out there so people can be informed of the danger of excessive use of drags. I salute the filmmaker and who ever was part of this film!

Intense, fascinating, memorable, a must see! Finally someone made a film about such an important subject. Parents should watch this film!

One of the best films that in a bold way touch such an important issue. I've never saw such a deep film about this subject with an amazing storytelling that gives you the chills after you get out. The actors are amazing and so deep it feels like it is really their own story. This director brings on a world and people we usually don't know . World we must see and I hope that after people will watch it they will change their point of view about this important issue .
