Featured review
Sad, but Lacking Depth
Drinking to Oblivion is one of Louis Theroux's many documentaries, this time focusing on the devastating effects of alcoholism. As usual, Theroux approaches the subject with sensitivity and respect, allowing the individuals he interviews to share their stories in their own words.
While the documentary certainly captures the heartbreaking reality of alcoholism, I found it lacking in depth. The film shows the tragic consequences of excessive drinking and how it destroys lives, but it doesn't delve deeply enough into the root causes or potential solutions to this widespread issue. The narrative feels somewhat surface-level, missing an opportunity to explore the broader context of addiction and recovery.
Overall, while Drinking to Oblivion is certainly eye-opening and evokes sympathy for its subjects, it falls short of being truly impactful. It's a sobering watch, but I was left wanting more insight. I give it a 4/10.
