Bliss

About This Movie

Bliss (2019) dives into the harsh reality of addiction with a raw and unflinching lens. Hargreaves crafts an atmosphere that's both haunting and strangely intimate, allowing viewers to feel Rob's internal struggle. The pacing, at times deliberate, mirrors the slow descent into dependency that's all too relatable yet unsettling. Codeine, portrayed almost as a character in itself, reveals the duality of solace and destruction. The practical effects aren't flashy, but they enhance the grittiness of Rob's life spiraling downward. Performances feel genuine, pulling you in rather than pushing the narrative. It's a film that lingers with you, questioning how much we sacrifice for temporary relief.
