The Basketball Diaries Reviews

best movie i’ve ever seen about drugs and addiction, if you liked euphoria or things like that watch this movie. Leonardo plays really good ( as always) and the movie is emotional

Damn near took me longer to find a way to watch it than it did to watch the movies itself. I understand why it’s considered controversial - hard to watch coming from personal experience with an outside perspective of addiction, but nonetheless a great film and even better story

One of those movies I was watching every time it was on tv and that always captivated me. One scene in particular is so heartbreaking. One of Leonardo DiCaprio best acting performance and at such a young age.

i love watching movies like this because they change my perspective but this changed it in a completely different way.. watch this

The star shines, but the movie is hard to watch. There is no conflict here, just pointless and aimless wandering. It's a downer but, nonetheless, an intriguing DiCaprio performance.

I thought ‘Beautiful Boy’ was THE addiction film. I was very wrong. I would say it shows how it affects 3rd parties, but this film… Is THE addiction film.

DiCaprio, although young, gave an amazing performance. He is a naturally gifted actor.

Also.. Whalberg… Enough said.

Really good movie on addiction. Quite gritty and fever dreamy, but interesting. Good to see a depiction of what it’s like for addicts. It was interesting aswell seeing a young Leo and Wahlberg, good performances aswell by both.

i loved everything about this movie but it definitely got me thinking about why i am so fascinated by content like this at my age. i feel like it is a bit concerning for me to be so well educated on these topics. anyways- great movie, portrays drug addiction greatly.

Messed me up so bad. Probably won’t ever watch again but it’s one of the best depictions of addiction in a movie that I have seen. Couldn’t stop thinking about it for days and I honestly don’t recommend watching, especially if you aren’t in a a good mental state.

Great cast and great movie

Watched this on an illegal website so it lagged like crazy, but good movie. When he got help I was so glad but he fell right into old habits 🙁

Leonardo DiCaprio in this movie,with a character like this it’s so crazy like fr,this movie means so much to me🙏🏻

It’s a very good story shows us how some people live but I got confused and very bored wasn’t really satisfied with this movie

Its very sad but the ending made it better

reggie is goated. I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did at all but the cast really surprised me with the 3 sopranos actors especially. leonardo dicaprio and mark wahlberg are just goated, especially together. jim carroll playing a character AS WELL AS his own song about a certain thing playing at the same time it happened in his life in this movie is so cool idk. the dark tone just works; the colors, aesthetic, it’s really really good

Di caprio is superb, he was testing himself in the wolf of wall street 😂😅

Amazing movie!! Love basketball 🏀 but so much more then that!! Young Leo and Mark Wahlberg!! ❤️
