Facing the Habit is a raw look at addiction through the eyes of Dave, a stockbroker trapped in an endless cycle of heroin use. The documentary dives deep into his life, capturing the emotional toll it takes on his loved ones, especially his mother and girlfriend. The pacing sometimes feels unhurried, allowing the weight of his struggles to sink in. What stands out is the exploration of ibogaine, the West African root that promises a way out. The film’s tone is stark, often uncomfortable, reflecting the grim reality of addiction, yet it doesn’t shy away from the glimmers of hope. The practical effects of addiction are laid bare, and the performances, though not traditional, resonate with authenticity.
