It is the most frightening, realistic, seedy, dark, dank and potent film I have ever seen. Edel and his fine young cast draw us into a world where even withdrawal is no way out, and the addicts, whilst being experienced junkies, clearly do not understand their situation - "we'll only smoke grass now and again." As the film progresses, the earlier "heroin chic" and constant referencing of David Bowie disappears, leaving only a world where there is no way out, just an ever-tightening circle of lies, false promises and bleakness. Look, just watch it, ok?  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Excellent & authentic, 12 Feb 2006 By  Dr. C. D. Connaughton (London, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews    An excellent film about the descent into drug addiction of a 14 year old girl living on a Berlin housing estate - from a beautiful girl to a drug-crazed zombie lookalike. It all rings horribly true and the characters are all extremely likeable, which makes the story all the more horrific. The acting, the photography, the scripting, and the direction are all first class. Definitely 5 stars.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Although slightly dated now, the message remains powerfully the same EVERY school kid should me made to watch this film at about the age of 15 (The 18 rating is also dated - this needs reclassifying)  Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
