The two main characters mentioned above hold the viewer throughout the film. The other characters also well played illustrate how so many others suffer in their association with their drug-addicted friends. This is a truly professional film in every way. It presents a serious challenge and the message is clear

'Requiem For A Dream' is a raw and hard-hitting drama about 4 ambitious people who have their hopes and dreams shattered when their drug addictions begin spiralling out of control.
Packed full of surreal footage, loose and distressing camera-work and direction as if you are on a trip, 'Requiem For A Dream' is a rollercoaster of misery and agony rotating around drug abuse.
This movie is not for the faint-hearted or easily upset as it is very distressing in places and contains some graphic footage of drug abuse. Jennifer Connelly is great as Marion Silver but surprisingly, Jared Leto steals the show as Harry Goldfarb.
This movie isn't pleasant and doesn't contain a 'happy ending'.
Darren Aronofsky gives the audience slight glimpses of hope and happiness throughout but then tarnishes them.
'Requiem For A Dream' is a raw tale of desperation and it's marvellous. A great follow-up from his Art-House wonder 'Pi'.

it was amazing, but made me cry so much and i felt so awful once it had finished!
all of the cast did an amazing job, it was so believable!
i would put anyone of taking drugs because you can clearly see how they screw up your life!
i would recommend it but not for someone how wouldnt like to feel horrible once it finishes!
it rocks!
