ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED \u2013 2022\u2019s Venice Golden Lion recipient, from renowned documentarian Laura Poitras \u2013 showcased the horrifying truth of the Sackler family\u2019s wrongdoings around reclassifying OxyContin as a non-addictive substance through the eyes of Nan Goldin\u2019s activism, while the Disney+ release DOPESICK contained multiple storylines in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> that dramatised both the lives of addicts and that of the Sackler\u2019s evasion from law enforcement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Jamie Sisley\u2019s funny yet semi-serious debut feature STAY AWAKE \u2013 a feature-length adaptation of his short of the same name \u2013 he brings together a story about the opioid crisis from the perspective of a small town family. While the previously mentioned pieces on the opioid crisis rigorously interrogate the Sackler family\u2019s role (for good reason), Sisley instead chooses to ignore their reach to hone in on the cyclical nature between opioid use and the destruction that addiction brings upon the lives of their dependents.<\/p>\n<p>In what is described as a \u201cfictionalized account of the filmmaker\u2019s coming of age\u201d, the film portrays the lives of two brothers, Ethan (Wyatt Oleff) and Derek (Steffan Argus), as they deal with their mother, Michelle (Chrissy Metz), and her addiction. Their young lives are ripe with opportunity: they interact with love interests, have cute dates and get accepted into college. However, the crippling relapses their mother goes through curb those bright openings. The film opens with Ethan arriving at Derek\u2019s bowling alley workplace, with a solemn, silent look on Ethan\u2019s young face. It\u2019s a look Derek knows all too well as he is forced to leave work yet again to drive his unconscious mother to the hospital. <\/p>\n<p>As much as that all sounds quite heavy, Sisley\u2019s highly personal story is quite light, despite also dealing with both the outer political ramifications of opioid use (some unsanitary actions from Ethan towards the doctor who prescribed their mother with oxy is the closest that Sisley gets to showing justified rage). At the same time, the characters avoid engaging with their mother\u2019s mortality in favour of the adolescent naivety they crave. Sisley is showing how these boys\u2019 normal lives, which are filled with commercial auditions, failed romances and the desire for education, must continue without the direct influence of their mother. Yet, their mother\u2019s actions consistently pierce the mundanity of their existence, such as when the joy of a college admission quickly deflates at the fault of Michelle\u2019s addiction. The film meanders around the lives of these young boys as a result, in a coming-of-age drama that has no urgency in its personal deconstructing of Sisley\u2019s youth until Michelle\u2019s next relapse.<\/p>\n<p>As this is such a personal rendition, it begs the question of who Sisley\u2019s surrogate is within the story. Is Ethan, the aspiring student, or is Derek, a commercial actor, unable to get their break? It may not matter which, but it gives the film a crisis of perspective. If Ethan and Derek are both Sisley, dividing the narrative between them dilutes the impact of his story\u2019s personal, specific humanity. <\/p>\n<p>Often funny, as it plays the endearing brotherly bond for much-needed warmth, it\u2019s a film that doesn\u2019t quite have enough drive or rage for the American opioid situation many find themselves in. Scored with a plucky guitar and piano combo, STAY AWAKE is a lively charmer. However, its interest in a microcosm of the opioid crisis rather than the grand picture limits the film\u2019s scope, and its emotional strength is limited by an insistence on diverting attention away from the addict.\n    <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
