Ecstasy is to ecstasy what Trainspotting was to heroin. Different times, different drugs, but the Scotland-set story of addiction and redemption is pretty much the same.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 22, 2012

In the end, ECSTASY wants to have it both ways -- drugs are celebrated at the beginning of the film, and condemned -- or at least the crime connected with them is - by the end.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 26, 2012

One gets the feeling this director doesn't think his target audience is all that smart.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 26, 2012

The film is supposed to be a transformational romance going from the love of ecstasy to the ecstasy of love but the two leads can't manage it any more than the director.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 20, 2012

Not so much chemical romance as serious downer, it all seems so old.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 20, 2012

There's referencing and then there's photocopying, and Ecstasy screams "toner low".

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 19, 2012

The movie's low-level chat about uppers (boy, you wouldn't give this movie a nickel for its small talk) does little to peddle Welsh's undoubted brilliance.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 19, 2012

The low budget is not enough to excuse the ineptitude on show. Avoid.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 19, 2012
