ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

vasilismavro79 A very good idea on a subject that was time to do focus on, but the documentary (except the title) is poor and without a goal. Opinions and personal experiences are abstractly thrown here and there without a central spine of a story-line. At the end I didn't have a clear idea of what it was trying to say. It did not try to find the roots of the problem. It just wanted to mention the problem in a lazy way, like a puzzle that is not even solved yet. But that is not the only thing that did not work. While you watch it you start to realize how soft and politically correct it is. Not a single mention of any company, on profits, on the huge advertising industry from every aspect of the system (movies, video-clips, doctors, teachers, TV). Just stories without a political idea behind it. Without a cause. It had the smell of unfinished.

Ganbat I was little confused, should we take these pills or shouldn't we take these pills? Message was definitely delivered, however, i am afraid after watching this documentary, more people would find ways to take these pills rather than not. Documentary has reverse effect.

icesismoody This documentary, while edited well, is a very shoddily written one. Not only is it incredibly repetitive, with the interviewed individuals all saying some iteration of "I don't have ADHD but wanted to perform better so I abused a substance and voila, I became amazing," but it also does its best to downplay the significance and necessity of the drug it fails to demonize. Very few times in the documentary do they acknowledge that they're talking about substance abuse, not the evils of a perfectly helpful medicine, and they keep describing it as some miracle drug that makes literally every person who takes it ever hyper-productive and jittery instead of a drug that has harmful affects if abused, just like any other medication on the market. Fun fact: people with ADHD have trouble sitting still or paying attention because their frontal lobes aren't as active and may even be physically smaller than people who don't have ADHD. Stimulants help "wake up" their frontal lobes so that they can perform basic tasks like homework, hygiene, driving, and even just taking out the trash sometime in the next six months. A lot of folks with ADHD who don't have access to medication often self-medicate by consuming large amounts of caffeine, a less effective but more accessible stimulant, and when they DO have access to medication, INCLUDING Adderall, they behave and perform like "normal" people, not like people on meth or speed. If this documentary had done more to provide a cautionary tale to those who wish to abuse the drug while also highlighting its usefulness to those who actually need it, it would have been a more rounded and less irrelevant documentary. Unfortunately, it failed to provide, and many MANY people who have ADHD will continue to be stigmatized due to scare tacticians like the folks who put this documentary together.

rileynargang This movie does not remove the stigma surrounding ADHD medications, it intensifies the stigma.
