Leaving Las Vegas

CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 7.6

A disgraced screenwriter travels to Las Vegas with plans to drink himself to death. There, he meets a prostitute, and the two form an uneasy bond based on companionship, acceptance, and a promise not to change each other.

My take

You’ll appreciate this if you value raw performances, tragic romance, and unflinching stories about addiction; Not for you if you want uplifting entertainment, light humor, or a hopeful mood.
