Ellen Burstyn: Sara Goldfarb

From Darren Aronofsky, Requeim for a Dream is his most disturbing, most crushingly shocking work yet.

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... read more

"Now we come to step three. This... drives... most... people... crazy."

Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream is intense, uncompromising, disturbing and depressing. It is a rare film that is emotionally fatiguing due to the unremittingly powerful portrayal of its subject matter. Writer/director Aronofsky deserves to be lauded for his representation of drugs and the consequences of ... read more

Description: Requiem for a Dream exposes four paralleled individuals and their menacing addiction to heroin, cocaine, and diet pills (speed). Taking place in Brooklyn amidst the waning Coney Island, the drugs are very easily obtained and keep each main character in its cycle of dependence. The protagonist Harry Goldfarb is your typical heroin junk ... (more)

" The hopes and dreams of four ambitious people are shattered when their drug addictions begin spiraling out of control. So I have seen pieces of this. I am sure I will only watch this once because of how depressing it is said to be. I also like the actors in this including Jennifer Connolly, Marlon Wayans, Jared Leto, Ellen Burstyn, and Keith David. The acting is really good. I also recognized the music Lux Aeterna as it's in alot of trailers and other media. It was refreshing to see Marlon Way"

Underwhelming Cinema (22 movies items)

" To dive into a film which many have called the best of all time and most of all the most disturbing of all time and find nothing more than an extremely preachy showcase of editing and musical scoring skills is disappointing to say the very least of things. Ellen Burstyn gives a role far too good for the rest of this film, as all else of it is just a one-note bullet train on the way to "Don't do drugs mkay"-ville. The ending montage, despite sounding and looking fine, becomes in the hyper-preach"

Movie Reviews (part 2) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: Addictive as drug itself with fast editing, split-screens, zooming, timeshifts, experimental camera movements. Depressing and hopeless atmosphere done to perfection. The reason why Jennifer Connelly got a Best Actress Award at the Oscars Cermony the following year and why the rest of the cast didn't get more recognition is criminal. This is the film where all Youtube clips take their "dramatic symphony music" from. The Downs: The script is all propaganda fear about drugs. It couldn"
