-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS

"This is like no other film you've ever seen."

"Aronofsky brings a new urgency to the drug movie by trying to reproduce, through his subjective camera, how his characters feel, or want to feel, or fear to feel."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"A powerful fable about love and addiction that manages to be darkly humorous when it isn't graphic or harrowing in the extreme."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST

"Requiem for a Dream may be the first movie to fully capture the way that drugs dislocate us from ourselves."
