Chevy Chase

About This Movie

So, Chevy Chase is this 2018 drama that delves into the gritty, often uncomfortable world of addiction. The pacing is kind of relentless, reflecting the protagonist's internal struggle, which can be a bit hard to watch but feels very real. The film’s atmosphere is quite raw, with moments that capture the desperation and fragility of someone grasping for control. The performances are pretty haunting, particularly the lead, who really embodies the chaos of Oxycontin addiction. What stands out, in my opinion, is the practical effects they used to illustrate her mental state – it adds a layer of authenticity that you don’t often see. Overall, it’s a challenging watch, but it’s distinct in its unflinching portrayal of addiction's impact.
