Addiction is one of the most painful, most horrible things imaginable. It ruins lives, it ruins families, it ruins careers, it ruins everything. It’s all-consuming, it’s practically inescapable. Naturally, filmmakers from all over the world have been more than willing to mine this global crisis for material. Because of its worldwide prevalence—alcohol addiction, drug addiction, even sex addiction can be found in any country on the planet—movies about addiction are not hard to find.

What can be hard to find, however, are good movies about addiction.
