Panic

Heaven Knows What

Crit
Junkie life from the inside--based on an apparently fictiony memoir by the lead actor, Arielle Holmes--provides a perspective I would love to describe as empathy, but I have to confess that what it really makes me feel is deeply smug relief that my life never wandered across the path of heroin and urban poverty and love remotely as self-destructive as what Harley feels for Ilya (Caleb Landry Jones, in a vampirically creepy role). An intensely unpleasant film that is doubtless good for us to see.
