Imagine an insect pinned to a display case with a syringe and still flapping its wings. This is the Safdie Brothers' _Heaven Knows What_, the cinematic vision of Arielle Holmes' mostly-autobiography. While the movie has the same intensity as _Good Time_ and _Uncut Gems_, it doesn't have the same frenzy, which hurts the film absolutely not at all. Author Arielle Holmes plays her own role in _Heaven Knows What_ and if she writes as well as she acts, it's easy to see why the Safdies picked up the project.

Good Time was the first movie I've watched from the Safdie brothers. I really liked the tone of it, how they treated the movie's characters so on, so I was eager to watch Heaven Knows What. I was not disappointed. If you like the hyper realistic - junkie life sub genre you'd probably like HKW. It did not invent anything new, but show you again how pointless and sad a drug addict's everyday life. HKW captures well this evil cycle.

I almost *never* get truly disturbed by movies. I don't know why - I just don't, but within the first ten minutes *Heaven Knows What* left me cold with overwhelming fear, it made me feel internally sick and I couldn't watch any more so I gave up on the movie. Now, two days later, I saw t More
