Our take

It took off like a rocket: from the opening bang of Iggy Pop and Ewan McGregor’s monologue, it was like a door was kicked in. Funny, terrifying, spasming with a musical energy that never subsides, this stylized plunge through drug culture is a signal 90s hit, launching both McGregor and Danny Boyle.
