Just finished watching 'Requiem For a Dream'(2000). Jennifer Connelly stole the show in my opinion


Don't get me wrong, Burstyn and Leto are absolutely phenomenal, but it's Connelly's acting that made my gut spasm. How the mischievous tingle in her eyes just dies and is replaced by emptiness, how her cravings completely hijack and get the better of her, how she absolutely hates and detests the sexual stuff but continues to put up with it because of the shot. I was stunned by her performance (she's so gorgeous as well!)The ending shot, where she's completely destroyed from within, but still manages to crack her lips into a smile looking at the packet of scag in her hands has to be one of the most haunting portraits I've ever seen in a film via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3vY2TWE
