Film Threat Merle Bertrand

While Intoxicating is far from a perfect film, it is nonetheless a highly effective -- and affecting -- clash of two fiercely independent talents, Kirk Harris and Mark David.

Dale W. gave it a7:
Great performance by lead actor as he take a horid journey through addiction. While I know the film is a low budget indie it seems like it could have been edited a bit more is the reason for the 7.

Christina K. gave it an 8:
An extreme film about addiction that certainly won't be for everyone. Really touched my heart though. Performances are great and so is the hard driving soundtrack.
