Unreliable narrator?


A lot of reviews say the main character Pink is an unreliable narrator. Could anyone explain please?

Could you link to some of these reviews? Hopefully context will help clarify. As a guess the story is revolving around and shown from the perspective of someone who is mental and burnt out on drugs. Is he the best person to be telling you the reality of what's going on in the world created in the film? And a lot of the movie is going on inside Pink's head, hallucinations and going over his past, which hindsight may not be clear considering his present state. Most of the movie is told from the perspective of someone who isn't all there and a lot of what happens in the movie didn't really happened outside his head.

Thanks!
The IMDB synopsis, Wikipedia, and other reviews if you look it up claim the unreliable narrator genre.
