Editorial Reviews It would be hard to imagine a movie about drugs, depravity, and all-around bad behavior more electrifying than TRAINSPOTTING. Entertainment Weekly (05/13/2009)
Exuberant and pitiless, profane yet eloquent, flush with the ability to create laughter out of unspeakable situations, TRAINSPOTTING is a drop-dead look at a dead-end lifestyle that has all the strength of its considerable contradictions. Los Angeles Times (05/13/2009)
Electrifying [...] Harrowing and hilarious Rolling Stone (05/13/2009)
The film is about joy--in conniving and surviving, in connecting with audiences, in its own fizzy, jizzy style. Time (05/13/2009)
Scabrous, brutal and hip, TRAINSPOTTING is a CLOCKWORK ORANGE for the '90s. [The] performances are terrific at all levels Variety (05/13/2009)
