🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a forceful indictment, relying on expert testimony and archival analysis to explore how vague diagnoses fuel a vast pharmaceutical and therapeutic industry. It builds a case that questions the very foundation of modern psychiatric practice.
What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the line between healing and social control. Those who tire of simplistic narratives will find ample material for critical debate. — MovieFinder Editorial
