Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Bob GrahamHe (Aronofsky) has put together a phantasmagoria of self-destructive obsession that is so visually astounding it becomes its own saving grace. Otherwise, we might not be able to bear it.
Aisle Seat - 10/10 by Mike McGranaghanAronofsky rewrites the language of film to create a dizzying journey into the abyss. The best film of 2000.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Peter HenneBy delving deeply into these people's strivings and predicaments, Aronofsky unearths what makes need fueled by fantasy tick. You may get a shock by what you find inside there.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 10/10 by Steve MurrayFilm lovers with a high threshold for unpleasantness will get a contact high from Aronofsky's muscular manipulations of imagery and editing.
TheMovieReport.com - 10/10 by Michael DequinaAronofsky doesn't merely make one bear witness to four characters' harrowing descents into drug addiction; he forces one to experience their euphoric highs and, above else, their shattering lows.
Dallas Morning News - 10/10 by Chris VognarFor the strong of stomach and open of mind, Requiem delivers some bravura filmmaking flourishes.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanMay be the first movie to fully capture the way that drugs dislocate us from ourselves.
San Jose Mercury News - 10/10 by Glenn LovellBoth bleak and bleakly funny, appalling in its excesses and exhilarating in its execution.
Detroit Free Press - 10/10 by Terry LawsonConveys, visually, sonically and dramatically, the siren call of addiction like no other movie has.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversAronofsky has fashioned a chilling vision that lives up to the caustic irony of its title and gives us a nightmare that is not lightly forgotten.
