Certificate: Certificate: 18

Drugs are bad mmmmK

I can't make my mind up on this film. It’s very well shot, beautifully designed, brilliantly acted.
But the story has no plot...... well it does, but very little in the way of a driving narrative.
From what I understand it has little to do with the book it’s based on, which is supposedly hard to follow anyway.

The only thing I really gained from this viewing is that drugs are bad.

It seems to be drug humour. Imagine train spotting with a sci-fi twist and a dash of abstract artistic flair.

It’s great to look at but that’s about it, and that’s not a bad thing in cinema.

3/5
