You get a raw, almost uncomfortable sense of intimacy as addicts and ex-addicts share their stories. It's not just about the struggle; it's about the myriad backgrounds these individuals come from, which is often a surprise. The pacing feels quite reflective—there's no rush to sensationalize the narrative, allowing the weight of their experiences to settle in. The visuals are straightforward but striking. You can sense the 70s grit in the film's aesthetic.
