I thought this film was like watching a train crash in slow motion. Who could look away? No one. 1 glimpse of the trailer and I knew I had to see it and I could see it again and again especially if I were working with addicts and wanted to open a window of a family for anonymous addicts to gather around and look deeply within, in order to see themselves. This life or so-called life of an addict that crashed so hard from grace she was hardly recognizable to her own mother is so compelling. It is a journey, a train ride through hell, but she comes out on the other side in tact. That is not meant to be a spoiler because she must take 1 day at a time and each day that she is clean is a good day. Everything about this film deserves a hat's off standing ovation. It is full of courage, compassion, love, pain and humanity. Somehow this film pulls it's self off without being utterly depressing. But after all, the cast is brilliant and ensemble work tight but tense like our lives are when we are either trying to get clean ourselves or support a loved on their own private journey (through hell). Yes, there was horror and that is what happens when human nature goes awry. There is horror but it is a good horror because it is about the good fight, a long journey into four good days night.
