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!

Dark, compelling and raw, it took me several attempts to get through this entire movie. Four addicts repeatedly trying and failing to claw their way out of the spiral of addiction is challenging to watch, and their emotionally charged backstories makes each character relatable on some level. The underlying theme is love: the love they have for one another, family, and drug of choice, and the lengths they'll go to for each of these elements truly humanizes addiction.

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.
