Ratings and reviews

Requiem is by far my top 3 favorite Leto movies. Even tho I rarely ever watch T.V. or movies anymore (attention span and unable to retain the storyline) I still love the movies that are so great my mind won't let it go. Requiem for a dream not only hits home, tells the truth about what addiction can really push one to do it's the best casting I've seen. Jared Leto is a fabulous character actor. Connelly has impressed since "Labyrinth", Marlon in rare form doesn't disappoint & Ellen is a classic!

This is a gripping look at addiction from a very wide range of perspectives that makes the viewer question the traditional one sided presentation of the struggle. We all get addicted to various things in our life and it is how we deal with these addictions that defines us, not the addictions themselves.

One of the most influential movies that I've ever seen. Great storytelling great cinematics. I cannot say how wonderful the movie is especially at a time when I needed to be sober. Really head home about the traces that we make. And the three paths that we all have is a choice. What a wonderful movie thank God it's so cheap.
