Addiction

About This Movie

Addiction (2023) dives into the raw, often chaotic world of familial bonds strained by substance abuse. Sammy's journey is one of pushing and pulling emotions, as she grapples with her father's downward spiral. The film has a gritty realism that doesn’t shy away from the harsh truths of addiction, and it’s shot in a way that feels almost intimate—a lot of close-up shots that capture the rawness of both characters. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, reflecting the unpredictable nature of addiction itself. Performances are quite compelling, especially the father-daughter dynamic, which feels authentic. It’s not just a story about drugs; it raises questions about loyalty, love, and the weight of expectations.
