powerful message

Strong film with powerful message. Alcohol and Addiction groups thoroughly enjoy the film and it facilitates many discussion topics in alcohol and addiction groups, from addiction and addictive behavior to HIV/AIDS, and at risk groups for both.

god this movie was good
Added 9/3/2002
As in most of these reviews, i was flipping through the channels in the middle of the night, not really enjoying a free month of showtime that our dish network provided us, when i stumbled on this movie. it was about 15 minutes into it. once i started watching it, i couldn't stop. this movie changed me. it takes a lot for a movie to make me feel anything, but Sweet Jane cut through. Plus, the cliched junkie story was very interesting. What really sticks in my mind, however, is the final scene... i'm actually afraid to watch it again, wondering if that first high i got from Sweet Jane can be repeated.

Truthful, beautiful, memorable.

I caught Sweet Jane as a midnight movie, as I'm assuming is the norm. This movie was haunting. The high of love, the high of heroin, the low of death, and the low of addiction all play combatting roles in this movie. If you're in for a tear-inducing depressing, but still wonderful film, watch Sweet Jane.

Brilliant spectacle, the reason I love midnight movies
Added 1/9/2002
As some other reviewers, I was up late channel surfing when I came across something about a hooker being followed around by the kid from Dazed and Confused so naturally, I was intrigued. This, as well as other great midnight movies that show on Showtime, Cinemax and sometimes HBO, are the reason I even turn on the tv (save for the Simpsons and Star Trek). If you see one movie that isn't glorified by explosions and shiny things, DEFINITLY make it this one. It's a bit odd, but if you can stomach the dark look on the underbelly of society, you'll find one of the best films you've ever seen.

Best movie i've ever seen
Added 12/27/2001
I couldn't sleep tonight, so around 1:00 am i started flipping through some channels, and i see "sweet jane" on, it looked somewhat interesting...I became so enthralled in it, i didn't get up to pee (which i had to do quite badly), and i told my aunt to shut up several times. By far, the best movie i've seen in a long time (if not ever) Needless to say, i rushed onto amazon.com to buy it so i can watch it again.
