Preview: Self-Medicated (2007)

• Poster: B+

Review:

Certainly more interesting than the trailer, the poster is a bit too gimmicky, but it still works. Walking the edge of a razor is a difficult thing to do and it fits perfectly with the film's theme.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The oppressively realistic nature of the preview is its only major downfall. It looks like the film's peppered with understated and affecting performances, plus the story at least makes the film worth a watch.

Oscar Prospects:

It's a festival favorite, but that's rarely enough for Oscar. I'm not going to hold my breath for them to recognize it.

Release Date:

• August 31, 2007
