This is a heartwrenching story but shows the importance of paying attention to our families, our communities and most importantly, our children as it becomes clear in this story that this oversight is what relates to a huge loss of life.
Plot summary
Kristen and Hannah are best friends–smart, likable and college-bound– and also addicted to heroin. The pair of seemingly unlikely addicts spiral down a path of destruction, hiding their secret from well-meaning but busy parents behind pink bedrooms and school uniforms, propelling their tight-knit community from disbelief to disaster to, ultimately, hope.

Heartwrenching
Drug misinformation is alive & well
Apart from being immediately suspicious of how many 10/10s this got, the film is a shocker of a frankly laughable and bizarre Reefer Madness type hard sell. I wonder is there "peer advisor" or whoever provided the drug use practices reseach information was having a cruel joke on the production.
Having seen the odd drug user in my time: i can tell you this is just plain wrong in what it portrays as (for one) injecting behaviour. Its like they picked up all the myths, since debunked, about injecting drugs and decided they were real enough for this movie. But then most people who see this film will be the just say no brigade, so I guess as long as it paints injection opioids as a one way trip to hell, that justifies liberties with the truth.
A lie is a lie, but I give this 2/10 for the fact that it deals with an important topic, however badly.
Go see Drugstore Cowboy or, if you prefer the newer or more dramatic, see Souvenirs. Better still, find Pure S***...
Too close to home
I lost my niece this year, very devastating for my family. This film is a definite must see, as it touches on how serious this issue is. I definitely will promote everyone I know to watch. Great job!
