Heaven Knows What
From the directors of Good Time, this electrifying drama about a homeless addict on the streets of New York pulsates with a dark, raw energy.
Director: Joshua Safdie and Benny Safdie
Overview
A striking, uncompromising depiction of life on the fringes from the Safdie brothers (directors of Good Time), Heaven Knows What is a stimulating rush of cinema. Drawn from the real-life experiences of its star Arielle Holmes, the film follows addict Harley living from fix to fix in a caustic metropolis. Evoking a woozy, transfixing atmosphere, this drama is an unsettling, rewarding trip to the shaded side of the street.
Frequent drug misuse, scene of attempted suicide, very strong language
