About
You’ll likely enjoy this bittersweet, darkly funny road drama with music-driven moments and a focus on compassion rather than glamorization; Not for you if you want a straightforward, deeply Christian story or if you’re easily turned off by drug-and-swearing-heavy scenes like those in Requiem for a Dream.
Pros: compassionate redemption; immersive drama; great soundtrack | Cons: harsh drug content; uneven storytelling; mixed lasting impact
