Heartbreaking addiction drama Luba explores the depths of everyday pain GlobeArts
But just as valuable, the movie also uses this story to call out the social systems that force those without money, without support systems and without the choices afforded to the middle class and above. We see Luba struggle to keep her head above water as she tries to create a stable environment for her little boy.
We see Donnie’s drive to be a good father while trying to fight the pull to sustain his addiction. And we see Donnie’s mother hope for the best while fearing the worst, all while actively rooting for her son. Of course, it’s by no means the perfect story about love and addiction, but it is an important one. It exists everywhere, for so many people, within the ordinary, and often so heartbreakingly mundane.
