Comfortably Numb is a 1995 American independent drama film co-written and directed by Gavin O'Connor. It is also named after Pink FloydâÂÂs 1979 song Comfortably Numb
William pursues his aspiration of being a prosecutor and also finds happiness with his new love Meadow, but their partying lifestyle develops into a heroin addiction that destroys their lives.
Comfortably Numb was rated NC-17 in the United States by the Motion Picture Association of America for "scenes of graphic drug use and some explicit sexuality".
The film was given a limited theatrical release in the US by Meistrich Corporation in 1995 and was released on DVD in Canada by Alliance Atlantis on August 14, 2007.
Variety wrote, Comfortably Numb is a smartly mounted pic with no star power and a story-line about the moral dilemmas facing a Connecticut preppie-turned-NYC prosecutor. Unfortunately, it takes a fatal turn halfway through by becoming a lurid antidrug tract and never recovers. Pic showcases talents of cast and crew, but B.O. prospects are nil."
