I would have really liked to enjoy it. I did try hard
After all, it took two and a half hours of my life. First of all, the image was crap; Who was the moron holding the camera, anyone knows his name? Secondly I couldn't get what was really happening (that's when I started to put my attention on the crappy camera work). Thirdly it was unnecessarily sexual, violent, and pompous, since each character had as much personality and depth as a cockroach.
Those who can change a pathetic patchwork of nothingness into entertainment with the help of illegal substances, have all my admiration. But what's left for us who prefer to leave our clean pink crispy little neurons untouched? A movie like Cidade de Deus, can be a good choice. Or perhaps Requiem for a Dream (incidentally, two anti-drugs masterpieces).
