Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Best movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Leah (Morgan Saylor) is a cute white college girl living with her roommate in New York City. She gets hit on all the time. She works for Kelly (Justin Bartha) and they have a fling. After meeting Blue (Brian Marc) on the subway, they have sex on the roof of her apartment. She suggests that he can get a better price for his drugs at Kelly's party. Blue gets arrested while trying to make a buy. She needs money to hire defense lawyer George (Chris Noth).It's not surprising that no good would come out of this movie. In fact, a happy ending would have been a great surprising twist. This reminds me a bit of Kids. It has some of the grimy street level energy although the Hollywood stars bring one back to fiction. The story does stray into standard melodrama with her obsessive love but it always injects her raw uncontrolled sexuality. It does play with the edge of the envelop until it stops noticing where the edge is. The most surprising aspect is Bartha playing a douche in this indie. I've never seen him in anything with an edge. This may work better with another actor. The most memorable ends up as the final scene. It's jarring to see her as a college student for the first time.

I love this movie ok too much drugs but this real the actors play so well that we think it is happening in reality some people can not like it because of the exageration of drugs taking for me it is a kind of movie i like

This is an interesting film, one with probably more potential for future greatness than actual rewatch value. The acting is top notch all around, from the two leads who go through many changes to the lawyer who has truly seen it all delivering a chilling speech about black people in jail. A very promising debut from a female director that knows her stuff, from the moment doves fly away when two lovers are reunited or that moment when the camera gets tired of watching the white girl getting taken advantage of too many times and hides from the scene behind a wall before going back to a mirror reflection of said image. While at times playing like a softcore porno a la Game of Thrones and there are too many sex scenes just thrown around, the drama is intact and the WAY that the story is told is very compelling.

So why would a person watch a film with little to no redeeming values? You will ask this question every ten minutes as this film flows deeper and deeper down the sewer line. There are people in this film that you grow to hate and not care for. The female lead exploits her own depravity where you question the basic logic of her behavior. She makes some of the most profound mistakes early on and she keeps making these mistakes throughout the picture. And the theme has been beaten to death and if there was suppose to be any shock value, it was lost in the delivery of the script and the direction. Why should we care about another drug user? Why should we invest in the relationship between her and her boyfriend drug dealer? We've seen this trope too many times to give a damn. The utter stupidity of this girl and the lack of any common sense just screams at you. Every minute that passed by makes you want to just end the film because it gets worse and worse. If this was suppose to be based on true events then I pity the person who's life this was based on because every moment was just so dumb. This was an ugly film where every character was despicable. The boss, the roommate, the boyfriend, the other dope dealers, the cops, the lawyer, there were no characters were you could shine a light on. No one can be this blatantly naive and expect to survive in New York City.
