Notes: Anyone with sense knows that drugs are “bad for you.” But for some people, it’s all they have for staying sane. You just never really believe how bad things can get until they actually do. So despite a permeating humor, thanks to the narration and a couple of scenes, this is a very disturbing film about a group of lads in Edinburgh, Scotland, who get addicted to hard drugs and suffer some of the consequences of that life. But there is a point, though some filmgoers said they needed to see it a few times to “get it.”
