I was so shocked when I realised Frisbee was the kid from Almost Famous!

Brittany Murphy is the absolute bleeding heart of this disgusting disaster. She plays Nikki with this raw, electric, devastatingly fragile humanity. The way she nails the specific manic rhythm of being high is incredible, from the jaw-clenching, wide-eyed paranoia, and the sudden shifts from explosive rage to childlike vulnerability. Just proving why she's such a beloved and unforgettable woman!

What caught my attention was how grainy and heavily saturated the film is. The aesthetic makes the sun-drenched LA backdrop feel incredibly intoxicating yet hostile. Paired with an uncomfortably tight camera, it leaves you feeling just as disoriented as the characters, effectively transporting you into their sticky, grotesque, and thoroughly disgusting world!

*The random bursts of animation throughout are an inspired touch. They act as a brilliant visual metaphor for a fractured psyche; whenever the live-action reality grows too bleak, the film dissolves into a surreal, cartoon nightmare. It's the perfect way to show just how violently detached from Earth these characters actually are!
