Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Conventional movies, even independent ones, tend to get histrionic and judgmental about such drug-related setbacks. But Granik's film, though hardly a clinical case study, keeps a measured distance from the heavy-handed or simplistic.

Down to the Bone achieves what only the best independent films have: making life, at its most unvarnished, a journey.

The film is so pitch perfect and realistic, it seems you are there with these people, watching their lives unfold before you as it happens.
