The Adderall Diaries (2015)
Holy hell this movie was so good. Definitely one of my favorites.
I watched it because it’s A24 and I’m prescribed Adderall.
An acclaimed writer with lots of paternal abuse in his past starts following a murder trial reminding him of his past. It’s shot so so well and reminds me of Euphoria in some ways with the colorings and Requiem with the quick flashing scenes. It’s just composed so beautifully and quite relatable for me which probably is part of why I like it so much.
The cast is amazing and features James Franco, Timothee Chalamet, Christen Slater, and Amber Heard. It’s directed by Pamela Romanowsky who directed 3 episodes of Riverdale but trust me, The Adderall Diaries is directed so well.
It was totally snubbed (only nominated for two awards?!) of awards, but at least it got a nomination for a Tribeca Film Festival award.
It’s available on Netflix and probably 123movies.
