Affliction (1999)

Excellent movie that captures the ravages of substance abuse so well. Nolte & Spacek are stellar here as is the rest of the cast. Not an easy watch (especially if you’ve dealt w/substance abuse in one form or another yourself) but well worth it for Nolte & Spacek’s performances alone. This film truly deserves more attention & accolades than it has received even though it won an Oscar for James Coburn in a supporting role & a nom for Nolte.
