Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

ddementia-34308 This entire film is full of Scientology followers who are giving their opinions not facts. The leader and founder of Scientology suffered from mental illness. This religion is dangerous. Psychiatry, Psychology is a science just like every other medical field. There will be trial and error. In all medical fields we have advanced in knowledge. To treat Psychology as a fake medical practice is showing you having no experience with someone who is seriously mentally ill. Schizophrenia, Autism, OCD, are all very real and treating these can be extremely hard.

akocevic It goes without saying that this documentary is seriously biased and not meticulously researched. Also, the creators of the documentary are affiliated with the Scientologists making it fairly easy to identify their hidden agenda. The primary purpose of this documentary is to fully discredit psychiatry and to make a convincing case against not only psychiatry but also psychology. Some of the most outrageous claims in the documentary are that psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and mood disorders are actually made up and do not even exist. The evidence is abundant that schizophrenia and for instance bipolar disorders exist and affect people worldwide. Also, the documentary uses various techniques to make a strong case against psychiatrists whom it portrays as evil, manipulative and insidious. They are somehow always working for pharmaceutical companies by advocating their drugs. The documentary continues to overgeneralize and distort the field of psychiatry by invoking conspiracy theories which do not hold water. Despite what is mentioned above, psychiatry has been responsible historically for some gruesome human rights abuses by employing highly questionable and unethical techniques such as the electric shock therapy and lobotomy. Also, psychiatry played a pivotal role in Eugenics and has helped justify horrendous crimes throughout history, let alone slavery and the Holocaust. Psychiatrists have asserted that intellectual inferiority and propensity towards violence is inherently related to race. We can keep denying these truths at our own peril. One interesting aspect of the documentary is the fact that it claims that psychology has no scientific merit and that it must be dismissed on the grounds that it is a pseudoscience. Nonetheless, it then goes on to discuss psychological techniques used by the governments worldwide to extract intelligence from prisoners of war. The psychological techniques effectively remove the defense mechanisms in these prisoners by breaking them down. If the creators of this documentary in fact oppose psychology then these techniques must be non-existent. They cannot even be used because psychology as a pseudoscience must be fully and completely spurious and worthless. There are numerous contradictions in the documentary which seriously undermine its credibility. The arguments are one-sided and sweeping over-generalizations take place throughout the entire documentary. Scientologists largely responsible for creating this documentary have an insidious agenda, which is to completely dismiss psychology as a whole and to convince you that psychiatry is inherently evil. While psychiatry has a dubious history it has important current real-life applications without which the suffering of many people would continue and their symptoms would not subside any time soon. I recommend the documentary but remember to be source critical.

gogni Everyone that is taking some kind of medicationshould watch these, I don't care if this is a doc or not, the truth is that if you are under medication, you will find a lot of thing that happened or will happen to you.I don't want answers I don't care about dates, but I DO care about how the psychiatrist have no idea , NO IDEA, what there giving us, just ask yours and he woulnt know.THIS IS A MUST HACE, FORGERT THE PROPAGANDA.You will feel that you're not alone, I'v been in the situation like many kids in this doc.THEY ARE TESTING WITH US, they are playing with your mind

Seehank This documentary is just not cool. From the first minute it is too aggressive to the watcher. Almost like a trailer to some movie - only the most "juicy" things are put up. Very very very aggressive to be true...The point is, in fact it is true to say psychiatry in US is really a business and really it smells. That is just true, but making a movie like this will not persuade an intelligent watcher about this true. On the contrary it makes him disgusted and really not about to believe what he see.In conclusion, the base of this movie might be truthfully, but the form of delivering the information is really not cool... Plus many supportive arguments are just fake...
