Regarding the other comment, that’s not true consent. Coercion and being forced to do something for one’s survival is not. consensual. That’s sexual abuse. That’s rape. If you think that’s actually consensual, that’s horrifying.

Twice. Once as Marion leaves the elevator to exit the apartment, after sleeping with the creepy bald dude. And at the end there's a chaotic mash up of scenes of all characters * SPOILERS AHEAD:
in the scene where Marion is in the orgy, and then it shows Harry in the hospital and Tyrone mashing potatoes, it flashes through them faster and faster and eventually we briefly see some shots of Tyrone being sick in jail.

The movie showcases different people hitting rock bottom because of their addictions, and I suppose that the concept of having a meltdown could be applied to all of them. But the mother in particular seems to really lose her sanity.
