Pure (2005)
Not bad, so I'm not quite sure why it took three years to release in the states.
The outline of the story is that a father died suddenly and left behind a wife, two young sons, and, apparently, no cash. The widow, though a loving mother, has turned to heroin and lost her cruddy job as a result. The kids know she's sick and takes "medicine," but tragedy strikes close to home and finally opens the eyes of the older son (Paul, played extremely well by Harry Eden) to the fact that his mother is a junkie.
Like I said, it's not bad, but there was potential for power here. There are some good scenes on the screen, but the overall effect was one of holding back a bit too much.
