Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out despite the allure of drugs and the influence of friends.
“This film plunges into the chaotic lives of Scottish heroin addicts, refusing to glamorize their existence while never shying away from their fleeting moments of dark humor and camaraderie. Its kinetic style and unflinching portrayal of addiction make for a viscerally impactful viewing experience. The film challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable realities without offering easy answers.”
