When I first saw this movie I wanted compensation for my waisted time, but oddly enough as time went by my feelings about the movie shifted from regret to fond recollection. Now don't get me wrong I still feel that it is by no means a "good" movie, but it has a scarce few redeeming qualities. For example, it is very endearing to any of us who have had days disappear from the week either due to night of too much drinking or a day full of too many "other vices". Another point is that the movie definitely captures a very true to life atmosphere, even to a fault. Unfortunately these were about the only good things I could say about the film. In my humble opinion I felt that the movie was pretentious and painfully arduous, often focusing for minutes at a time on the most mundane details that we overlook in normal life for good reason. I felt like finishing the movie was a matter of personal accomplishment as opposed to actually enjoying it. The character development was anemic at best and the dialog was almost non-existent. I believe that this film could have actually been affective if it didn't feel like some morose candid camera show on the life of an addict. In my opinion this film wasn't even good enough to evoke any other emotional response other than "why am I watching this?"
