Engaging from minute one. The way they chose to tell this story, along with the sheer volume of important characters, could have seen this bomb as a convoluted and pretentious mess, as we see with so many ensemble pieces and stories told in non-chronological order. Dopesick, however, was handled masterfully and the cast each proved their worth in their respective roles without ever visibly attempting to outdo one another. I felt genuine emotions, from anger and empathy to complete shock and disbelief, even though, as a non-US citizen, I have no personal attachment to the subject matter.
Michael Keaton, Michael Stuhlbarg and Kaitlyn Dever absolutely knocked it out of the park, as did the rest of the cast but they really outdid themselves here.
I can't really say much without taking away from what should really be experienced but if you haven't seen this yet and it's on your list, make it a priority.
