I hated Requiem for a Dream. I thought it was overblown and ridiculous. It was visually stunning, of course, but I still gave it a solid thumbs down. But I know a lot of people liked it. So convince me.
I love Hubert Selby Jr. I liked the movie, but I think one of the reasons that I liked it so much was because I wasn't disappointed. I hate it when you read a book and you see the movie and the movie sucks balls...that really pisses me off. I think the Requiem movie actually enhances the book - even though the movie was a little glitzy and modernized as compared to the book, it still worked, and I liked that.
Ellen Burnstyn was great beyond words.
I didn't even mind that a Wayans brother and that patsy from My So Called Life were in it.
