100The latter element joins with Crudup's excellent acting to make this deliberately scruffy tale a worthwhile experience if you can handle its explicitly sordid subplots.
-
80Has the edge of black comedy that defines Maclean's sensibility, but it also has a mature new sweetness. And it's certainly one of the best films about the life of an addict since "Drugstore Cowboy."
-
80It has a nobility and modesty, along with a refreshing lack of cynical attitude, that you rarely find in independent films these days.
-
58Meanders as aimlessly as its drugged-out characters.
