Watch Requiem for a Dream For Free

That was an excellent one.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Requiem for a dream stands as one of the most overrated films i've ever seen. From the ridiculous over the top melodramatic one note plot to the awful uninspired dialogue to the characterless characters theres almost nothing reedeming about this film except maybe its original soundtrack. The film tries to develop this idea that the 4 main characters have a dream and each one of them has their dream destroyed by addiction but if we have a closer look at it we can see that, for exemple, tyrese's dream has no substance at all to it, in fact we can only assume that his dream is to just be with his girlfriend since he never has time to develop as a character and the only thing the film gives us as a backstory for him is two flashbacks of him running to his mother. Tyrone is a majorly unexplored character as he has basicly no screen time at all,and when he does he is either dancing in fast forward or having sex. Sarahs dream is to be on tv. And even though she was just fine before she got "invited" to be on television, once she does, she starts to obsess over losing weight to fit her dress to the point where she gets addicted to amphetamines. Marion's dream is to be a fashion designer, but she ultimately has no idea whatsoever what that means since all she ever does is cut pictures off of magazines and all we're shown in terms of her chasing her dreams is a "i worked some numbers out and this could really work" by harry. Harry's dream is pretty much just be a boyfriend to marion and have enough money to get his fix. Anyway all of this goes under when for some reason which the movie refuses to show us(instead he rather show us 5 different scenes of sarah allucinating) the gangs(which ones?the movie doesnt know either) go on war and the drug market is mostly emptied. The sole fact that Aronofsky thought it would be better to water down the film with repetitive montages than actually showing the reasons behind the gang conflict is enought to label this as a bad movie but whatever. The ending seems really rushed and forced. The police had no reason to arrest tyrone since driving a drug addict to the hospital is not a crime and they didnt have enought to get a mandate to search his car and find his drugs, and if staying in the hospital lobby was risky then why didnt tyrone just leave harry there and left? its almost like aronofsky had this ending envisioned but didnt really bother to make it seem convincing At the end of it not even the cool soundtrack can move me,not when i can see that anti drug moralism was the driving force behind this film. The characters are undeveloped, the photography is okay, the soundtrack is kind of cool but it is overused, the ending seems really forced and unrealistic and overall this film has a really moralistic exploitative feel to it. not great, not good, its actually pretty bad 3/10

Watch it, I don't want to spoil it. Just know it isn't for everyone.

This film sucks. It is so overrated that it is not even funny. I am just sick of seeing so many 9/10 & 10/10 reviews for this crap film. It is all style over substance. At times it has decent visuals, a good soundtrack and okay acting, but the story is terribly mediocre. What I am about to say should not qualify as a spoiler, because I am keeping it so vague. The moral of the story really is just 'heroin is bad'... Are you kidding me? everyone knows that, especially heroine users. This film may use graphic nudity and violence to make that point, but there really isn't any more to it than that. Drugs are bad m'kay, and they can destroy your life. Everyone knows that, there is nothing clever, deep or profound about this trash. I think I might hate this film's fans even more than the actual film. They all think they are so bloody clever and anyone who doesn't like it, must just not have the patience or sophistication required to absorb such a modern masterpiece blah blah blah Bull S***!!! This film is completely overrated, don't waste your time.

The most irritating and unpleasant movie i've watched. Sexuality, drug(or smt.) addiction, miserable family bond. To be influenced if you want , watch it. Additively i can say, soundtracks by Clint Mansell was awesome.
