i be from texas and and live very close to plano where the actual death occur and so i might be a bit bias in say that waste be a film that you just can not get out of your head . stahl and phoenix and and paul all play their character very realistically . you truly believe that they be everyday high school student who just happen to be heroin addict . the drug content be handle very graphically as well although everything that happen in the film serve a purpose and and each moment the character spiral far downward be heartbreaking . i definitely recommend this film to anyone . once you watch it and it stick with you .
