| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyA great anti-heroin movie with an exceptional soundtrack. |
| User ReviewMichael DUtterly compelling and captivating film that grips you from the start. It holds up really well to the test of time. Sound track, atmosphere and acting are all superb. |
| User Reviewemma bThe best Film ever made!! (even tho it is german) |
| User Reviewjeni pHEARTRENDING,but an awesome piece of cinema |
| User ReviewSanity Assassin !I found myself repeatedly forgetting that Christiane and the rest of her friends are only around 14 yeas old when they become hooked on heroin and the actors playing these roles are of the same age. Brilliant acting that you wouldn't think could be pulled off by a cast so young. |
| User ReviewOla GOne of the best films I have ever watched. Really opens your mind about heroin use. Both Natja's and Thomas' performances excel. |
| User ReviewJean-Antoine BThe best movie about junkes I've ever seen! Fascinating and so true! Usually in movies like this actors still look beautiful even if they play people with deep addiction. In this movie you'll see dirty hair and nails and skinny bodies. Wonderful actors and soundtrack. |
| User ReviewCorrie FImagine 'Requiem For A Dream' if it were directed by Michael Haneke and with a David Bowie soundtrack. Incredibly authentic, but very, very upsetting. |
| User ReviewTit MDavid Bowie ist gut. Heroin. Early 80s. Bowie. This movie is way way way under everyone's radar. This shows the late 70's early 80's like it really was. SHOOT UP. FLY AWAY and yes, "I'll have Cherry juice". Make sure you get the German version. The dub'd version is death. |
