From “Heaven” through “Earth” to “Hell”, there’s nothing particularly wrong with this portrayal of coming-through-drug-addiction, even if it’s all rather predictable. Still, great committed performances from Abbie Cornish and Heath Ledger as the druggie lovers, although Geoffrey Rush’s role and performance here are both an unnecessary distraction. Very much pitched at a general audience, this has less appeal for me than, say, the low-budget Somersault from a couple of years ago — also, incidentally, starring Abbie Cornish.
