Vera Farmiga delivers another brilliant performance. She has a beauty and passion not matched by many in Hollywood.

Harsh reality movie - the struggle of addiction is portrayed well.

Nothing new here, but well acted by especially Farmiga. Typical story of a druggie mom without a blatant happy ending. Worth seeing for the acting.

Trailer park, poor white trash sniffs coke and cheats on her pothead husband while they both neglect the children. Too depressing.

Dennis T.

This is one of the crummiest movies I've ever seen. It had no redeeming value whatsoever. There is nothing more depressing than the dead souls that inhabit the drug scene. The acting sucked and there were way too many tattoos and body piercings for my taste. And one snake is one too many unless I'm watching a Tarzan movie. Ugh...
