Robert Zemeckis’ Flight stars Denzel Washington as “Whip” Whitaker, a pilot who gains a Sully-esque reception after he (relatively) safely lands his out-of-control aircraft in a field. Results of a post-crash blood test reveal that he’d consumed significant amounts of alcohol while in flight withoutshowing his extensive cocaine use the night before...
The Lost Weekend was thoroughly controversial upon release — pressure from the liquor industry nearly got the film shelved. It was the first time that a mainstream Hollywood film had addressed alcoholism, and the timing was right: American soldiers returning from fighting in World War II were beginning to confront the challenges of both post-war tr...
Based on twin memoirs from father David Sheff and son Nic Sheff, Beautiful Boystars Timothée Chalamet as Nic, a teen whose methamphetamine and heroin use threaten his own life, and drive a wedge between himself and his father, played by Steve Carrell. The film deals particularly well with the ups and downs of addiction — in real life, the narrative...
Another movie based on an addiction memoir, this influential indie film from 1998 (you can tell it’s the ‘90s by the prominent placement of “Smack My Bitch Up”) stars Ben Stiller as novelist Jerry Stahl, who recounts his life and struggles with addiction in-between frequent pursuits of sex. Stahl’s narrative isn’t entirely nightmarish, and his care...
Any of the Star is Bornmovies could work, but the most recent version hits particularly hard as a portrait of addiction in a relationship. Bradley Cooper’s Jackson is a popular singer with alcohol and prescription drug addiction disorders. As his career takes a downward turn, his partner Ally’s (Lady Gaga) takes off, causing him insecurity that fee...
Before everyone discovered he could do more than just wacky comedy Batman, Michael Keaton had already done impressive work in Clean & Sober, a grim, but ultimately inspiring story of Daryl Poynter (Keaton), a real estate salesman with a cocaine addiction. As his life slowly spirals completely out of control, Darryl eventually finds his way to a 12-...
The emphasis here is on recovery, as the film based on Cheryl Strayed’s memoir (and starring Reese Witherspoon) focuses on a healing journey — a literal one, in this case, involving a 1,770 km hike along the Pacific Coast Trail. Strayed’s life is recounted in flashback, revealing that her mother’s death from cancer encouraged Cheryl’s heroin and se...
Chloé Zhao’ directorial debut focuses less on any singular instance of addiction, instead dealing (in large part) with the consequences of alcohol addiction on an entire community — in this case among the Ogala Lakota community on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Lead character Johnny (John Reddy) makes money in just about the only way he can, by...
If there’s a slightly more whimsical side to addiction and recovery, it’s in the Betty Thomas-directed, Sandra Bullock-starring 28 Days (not to be confused with the one about the zombies). Bullock plays a newspaper columnist who never sees the damage that her drinking causes to others until she’s forced to. For her, it’s all a lot of fun, and surel...
First, it must be said that there’s not much sense of successful recovery from alcoholism and drug dependence in this star-studded adaptation of the autobiographical Eugene O’Neil play, but it does deal with some key elements of recovery, particularly the importance of recognising the existence of a problem and facing it forthrightly, often through...
