Park benches, bar toilets, empty house ruins, the streets of New York are home to Harly; with just a bag of white powder, a syringe, and one injection, Harly can ascend to heaven. The arrival of Illya brings a blazing light to her hopeless junkie life; however, the bloody suffocating love and endless drug demands drain their world, as if rapidly driving towards a cliff, crashing hard to the ground. Love and pain share the same origin, with no gray areas. In this destructive life, only drugs can prove one's existence. Adapted from the true story of the protagonist Ariel Holmes, directors the Safdie brothers encountered her homeless on the street and were drawn to her dramatic life, thus undertaking the creation of this film filled with underground colors and junkie culture. The documentary-like realistic approach clashes with classical and psychedelic electronic music, brutally and realistically presenting a deadly romance. The camera offers no breathing room from start to finish, praised by Indiewire as the best film of its kind since the psychedelic classic "Requiem for a Dream."
