Christiane F.

“Either I stop… or I die.” That line genuinely hit me so hard and left me speechless after finishing this movie. This is literally Requiem for a Dream kids version ;) It’s honestly heartbreaking, especially knowing that it was based on a true story. Kids at that age already being exposed to such a toxic environment and crazy influences is just devastating. And the mother too… sometimes it felt like she didn’t really care about her child or maybe she was too lost in her own life to realize how far things had gone. cowonya mokondo udah gitu ngegay lagi... anak-anak umur segitu emang harus dipantau sih karena mereka pasti belum bisa benar-benar ngebedain mana yang salah menurut mereka sendiri, apalagi kalau lingkungannya udah kacau dari awal. One thing I really loved about this movie was the setting and atmosphere because it gave me such a nostalgic feeling. The message was also incredibly deep, and I feel like movies with themes like this are hard to make nowadays, especially with underage characters. Christian's acting was honestly amazing and so natural she genuinely looked like someone slowly losing himself to those substances. It felt disturbingly real, and that’s what made the movie even more uncomfortable in the best way possible. The film doesn’t try to romanticize addiction at all instead, it shows how loneliness, neglect, and bad influences can quietly destroy someone at such a young age.
