There was something very familiar about Bliss, in a good way. Watching it was kind of like... coming home.

Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.

Went into this film completely blind, 10 minutes into my train journey home I realised I really shouldn't be watching this on public transport and the woman sitting next to me thinks I'm a creep.

Ugh, otherwise pretentious, very pretty, garbage dialogue pointlessly peppered with excessive swearing to try and seem cool, and just excuse after excuse for the lead to get topless. Which is cool and all, but after the 6th or 7th time it lessens the impact.

But my big complaint is it is clearly a film made by people who have no idea how drugs work, what they look like, or how you take them.

I wish I liked this director's style more, but between this and VFW I'm not feeling him, on paper his work should be right up my alley but it's style over substance
