Maybe the best movie about substance abuse I've ever seen...and I've seen most of them.
Gritty, realistic, darkly humorous, and deadly serious.
Richard Lewis at his best. Excellent supporting cast.
Watch it two or three times to catch all the subtleties of the various subplots.
This movie is an absolute must-see for anybody in recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction. This goes double for those recovering from both.
Also good for friends and loved ones of people in recovery.
