"Addiction is a premise well trod in cinema, and it can be hard to see how this can be looked at in an original light, but this mesmerising and deeply personal piece of one day in the life of an addict, and the sister who is always looking after him, never feels on the nose or pandering with emotionally manipulative easy material.
Instead, it is a powerful look into not just the addiction of drugs but how it affects those that care for them - the addiction of love for those that constantly fall into the deep end no matter how many times you pull them free, and the heartbreak of finally breaking away"
