Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

insideout098 I'm not sure what the documentary creator had in mind when he made this film, but it was all over the map from a narrative standpoint. I'm not sure whether it was promoting the use of Adderall though the exaggeration of its use among college students and athletes, or questioning its effectiveness as evidenced by a study that concluded placebos to be just as effective making people think they were over performing. There were no clinical trials on the either negative or positive long term effects of these drugs on the human body, or any tangible evidence that brain altering chemicals have any place whatsoever in the evolution of human performance. If you make a documentary on such drugs, you explore all angles so that the audience has a clear understanding of the facts in order to make sensible conclusions.

chailatte128 This movie does not provide scientific evidence for how medication can support and improve many symptoms for people clinically diagnosed and living with ADHD.The documentary addresses the issue of legalised addiction to speed, which is a completely separate debate, argument and concern. Very separate to the medical purpose these medications serve. Clearly the abuse of these drugs needs addressing yet not under the banner of anti-ADHD with the outcome further stigmatising people with this condition. If your life is touched by ADHD and or you or your child benefit from these life saving medical treatments - then my suggestion NOT to watch this film.

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

zarpthunder First off, I was addicted to speed for about a year and a half. Speed is just non-pharma Adderall. I tried Addy, it was great, but way too expensive for my lifestyle. During my depression I had to make friends, do my job, get passing grades, all things I could no longer do normally. I've lived the life they're describing in the film.Now there are a few reasons why I gave this film 2 stars.1) It's EXTREMELY REPTITIVEI honestly couldn't watch the first 20 minutes without being forced to skip sections of the movie. It just pounds into your head that "omg hey everyone, everyone else is doing it and you just don't know, or maybe you do cause you're in college or in business" But it's not true.2) It exaggerates immenselyNot EVERYONE and their mother is doing it. I've been to college, and while it was a fairly conservative college, the level of abuse is so exaggerated. They act like every college kid HAS to do it and DOES do it, and that's just flat out not true. At my school in particular I would say less than 20-25% of kids have even tried Adderall.3) It underlines this massive problem and gives no answersIt briefly skims over nootropics, and vaguely mentions "hey btw Adderall has long term effects! I guess you'll just have to guess what those are because this isn't an informative documentary, this is a shock value documentary!!!!" And that's honestly what pissed me off the most. It's not an informative documentary. It's a shock value documentary. All they care about is spreading an exaggerated message that Adderall is being abused. Yes it's a problem. No they don't give you a solution.
