Woww, it's really hard to find the words to tell how great this movie!!! Ohh, i could not move a while after i watched it. It is so different from all other movies. It's the best movie i ever watched! I heard about this movie too much before i watch -and unfortunately i usually have dissappointments when i expect so much from a movie because of i heard so much good things about it.- anyhow, it was more than i expect :)

This is so sad how everything goes to worse in time. There is no one to blame. There is no reason. It's just how life changes. And how people blind to see. When they realize, it's too late to turn back. I found so many meanings in this movie.. It tells so much more from drugs. Damn, it's perfect ;p

At the end of this film I was left pretty moved. It's a really powerful piece of cinema. I'd only heard a few things about this movie and didn't really know what to expect, in fact, I really just watched it to see how good the soundtrack was. At the beginning I was fairly apathetic to at least two of the main characters, but as the film went on they all really grew on me. I guess I just didn't expect their lives to change so irreversibly and drastically during the course of one year. By the end of the film each of the four main characters is just a shadow of their former self, their entire lives are pretty much shattered through naive choices and youthful mistakes. The accompanying soundtrack is fantastic and adds a whole other dimension to the feeling of sadness and unease you feel...Read more
