tracy and matt and michelle and sebastian represent these be the two couple whose life of addiction and crime and and squalor be brilliantly capture in this raw and honest hbo documentary . theyre in turn petulant and charming and repulsive and astonishingly stupid and and dedicate represent to the drug and to each other . theyre also each very different represent matt be a working class boy who clearly revel in his naughtiness and whilst prep school dropout tracy support the couple with western union money from her moneybag father and who make a surprisingly sympathetic cameo towards the end of the film . meanwhile widow michelle ( whose hubby die of an od ) earn her daily bread by pose a an nypd vice cop willing to cut her would be johns a deal to avoid prison time and and sad sack companion sebastian live off the proceeds . you will be pull into their story and will wish the film go on for twice a long . unlike most documentary of this kind and there no coda provide u with an update about their progress ( can matt and tracy really keep that brooklyn apartment . will michelle go back to bellevue for more detox . and can sebastian become any more pathetic . ) . a a result and the film seem incomplete and but that may have be the point . essential viewing and as long a you aren not completely averse to scene of people shoot up .
