Uber-realist take on drugs (heroin addiction) as a social issue. The whole nasty and personally destructive business is on show as Tracy attempts to come clean, whilst dealing with her addict ex-friends as they draw her back towards their world, and trouble. Arty, well acted (especially the mesmerising Weaving as gay addict Lionel) but falls just a little short on the narrative. A memorable, if imperfect, effort.
