This is a great attempt and Kunis , Close, and Root are magnificent.

BUT, it still does not go far enough in depicting the true horrors of detoxing. All the sweat, emesis and excreta are missing. All that crap that addicts families go through..This film just isn't ugly enough to frighten and shock everyone as they should be.

I have read a lot of these reviews and I just wanted to add my opinion. Not all addicts are the same. What works for one might not work for another. But as a former user of opioids, I want to say that Subutex (buprenorphine) is a life saver. If only it was more accessible to addicts, so many lives would be saved. One pill can keep you from getting high for 72 hours and it can also take away the unbelievable pain addicts experience when withdrawing from narcotics. It is also much safer than something like methadone. Unfortunately, it can be hard to find a doctor that is licensed to provide this medication and it can be expensive. But I have been on it now for quite some time and it has kept me from relapsing. I'm not saying I don't have cravings. But taking the Subutex every day makes it impossible to get high even if I did slip up. One more thing I wanted to add. Opioid addiction can cause bad teeth just like meth addiction can. When you're too high to take care of your oral hygiene, it doesn't really matter which drug made you that way.

I work in EMS and don't see this side of heroin addiction very often. It's pretty touching and hopefully is able to impact someone out there. Definitely a new role for Mila Kunis. It was hard to see her in a different role but I think she did good. Worth the watch if you need a break from the everyday super hero movies!

This is a beautiful emotional touching movie. It tackles a serious topic, that we've seen a lot in previous films, but it's still interesting and important to watch. The story is beautiful, sad, well written and unfolds beautifully. Performances by Glenn Close and Mila Kunis are both superb.

I had tears in my eyes from the beginning of this movie. When it was over the flashes from my past were going through my head. My first thought " I have to have my mother watch this with me, she cannot see this without me there"! Now, it was not always that way, see I became clean from using literally EVERY I could get my hands on and our relationship suffered tremendously. My only true love from the first time ( I didn't know what it was) HEROIN. It was everything! My love, soul, heartbreak, emotional blanket, my lover, my kiss, my pain, I mean it was EVERYTHING! This story isn't about her getting clean in my eyes, it's about all the pain that happens when you are the parent or the child and have seen this first hand or been there. I got sober at 18...almost 19. My mother and I today are so amazing but I still sometimes look at her and have to stop myself from tearing up. I put her into actual living hell. I'm 40 years old now. I haven't touched heroin once since the day I woke up and decided that was it. This movie moved me in so many ways.....the end.
