Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film is about joy -- in conniving and surviving, in connecting with audiences, in its own fizzy, jizzy style. And that's why, compared with it, most other films look zombified.
– Richard Corliss,

fresh:
Trainspotting is a searing pop-art portrait of a lost generation blowing out its brains. As they rail, chuckle, shout and dive into darkness, you're trapped yourself between a bellylaugh and a scream.
– Michael Wilmington,
Chicago Tribune,
26 Jun 2013
fresh:
The characters are without recognizable virtues, and neither they nor the movie asks us to like them. But they are full of energy and underplayed wit, endlessly picking themselves up off the filthy floor.
– Michael Wood,

fresh:
Trainspotting, buoyed by a great Brit Pop soundtrack and Brian Tufano's agile cinematography, captures the stoned-out, gut-churning experience of hardcore addiction with hallucinogenic acuity.
– Steven Rea,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

fresh:
Trainspotting's saving grace is that there's a heck of a lot of entertainment value in this particular form of shallowness.
