TrueFilm: An in-depth discussion of film

I bet this movie gets talked about a lot, and I dont have anything new to say, but what a despair inducing movie. The straight version of this movie is requiem for a dream, but dont think that movie comes close here. Ive never felt as though I was particularly helpless as an audience member outside of this experience. Also surprising to find something so utterly lacking in tropes, no adjudication for the coach or anything like that. Not really any kind of true "moment of understanding" for Brian
