Trainspotting is supercharged with sulphurous humour and brutal recklessness: it charges at you like Ewan McGregor's Renton sprinting from store detectives in the opening sequence.June 26, 2013
Trainspotting, buoyed by a great Brit Pop soundtrack and Brian Tufano's agile cinematography, captures the stoned-out, gut-churning experience of hardcore addiction with hallucinogenic acuity.June 26, 2013
A cocktail of scuzzy charm, nerve and despair that seduces and repulses in nearly equal proportions. It packs a jolt, all right. But it leaves you with a brutal hangover, too.December 05, 2016
A showy balancing act.February 23, 2017
Trainspotting is a remarkable film.June 26, 2013
Trainspotting's saving grace is that there's a heck of a lot of entertainment value in this particular form of shallowness.June 26, 2013
The characters are without recognizable virtues, and neither they nor the movie asks us to like them. But they are full of energy and underplayed wit, endlessly picking themselves up off the filthy floor.January 16, 2017
What's interesting, viewing the film now, is how it manages to be both inarguably of its time, the mid 90s, but also has not dated nearly as badly as most youth culture movies tend to.April 01, 2016
A cult film because of it's particular way to deal with dark themes in a different way. [Full review in Spanish]June 26, 2013
The film is about joy -- in conniving and surviving, in connecting with audiences, in its own fizzy, jizzy style. And that's why, compared with it, most other films look zombified.May 03, 2016
Trainspotting is a look to a better world while you're down and stuck in the mud. [Full review in Spanish]June 26, 2013
Trainspotting is a searing pop-art portrait of a lost generation blowing out its brains. As they rail, chuckle, shout and dive into darkness, you're trapped yourself between a bellylaugh and a scream.
