🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Theroux constructs his exploration through quiet, patient observation and disarmingly simple questions posed directly to the medicated children. He relies on their unfiltered perspectives to build a case study that challenges easy judgments about parenting and modern psychiatry.
What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the systems defining childhood normalcy and the chemical management of behavior. — MovieFinder Editorial
