A Scanner Darkly

"I actually liked this movie. Unique and has some of my favorite actors. It also contains some valid messages about societal evils. Plus rotoscoping at its finest. Recommended. "

"I’ve waited so long to watch this movie. The animation is cool, but the movie was so bad we turned it off like 7 minutes in, if that. "

"An amazing social commentary. "

"Very interesting perspective about life in this film. It's interesting how easily people see their "bad"/ unhealthy behaviours as being universal or true of everyone. "

"Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly is a haunting dive into identity, addiction, and obsession. Blurring reality with striking rotoscope animation, the film explores what happens when people become consumed by what they do — whether it's their work, their habits, or their escapes. It’s a powerful cautionary tale about losing yourself without even realizing it. Thought-provoking and visually unforgettable."

"Fairly close to the book. More information in the book as is always the case, but still a really good representation of it. Just a mind trip. "

"The ending still haunts me to this day.What starts as a manic comedy ends as a beautifully tragic film. Philip K ****'s most personal work, a reflection on his years of drug abuse coming back to haunt him and those he's lost along the way"

"It’s so trippy "
