Good start, but then it gets ruined

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Quite a good animation short which combines simplicity, concision and wisdom. This is one of the truest, most accurate takes on the development and consequences of addiction I have ever seen. You're a healthy human being ; you take just a little bit of a drug ; you experience a rich, golden, transcendent delight ; you wake up with a headache and a vague sense of disappointment in everyday reality ; you want to experience the same peerless rapture, so you take drugs, again ; lather, rinse, repeat, while the highs get lower and the lows get lower still ; you realize this stuff is terrible for you, but you need more, more, more. And you end up shooting poison into your veins in order to stay alive, while knowing you're killing yourself.Not only a worthwile work of art, but also a good teaching tool : might provide a welcome alternative to the more boring kind of cautionary material used in schools.

This film is the perfect thing if you wanna show someone the impact that drugs/addictions can have on your life. No words - just art at it's finest, pure expression, the unspoken language .Highly recommended.
