Horrifying documentary about lazy, incompetent parents drugging their kids with Ritalin and similar meds. Instead of taking the time to discipline their kids, they screw with their brain chemistry through psychotropic drugs. In one case, a girl developed a full-blown addiction to the drugs. In the process, these drugs simply mask the symptoms and leave the kids lethargic, zombified versions of their former selves. Nothing ground-breaking, but a good message about what not to do.

I cannot imagine a child taking 200 mgs of Seroquil each morning. Hugh's parents should be fucking ashamed. This kid is literally going to turn into a zombie, and in all likelihood have permanent negative effects on his brain forever. Disgraceful.

Not enough insight. It's just too hard of a subject for a merely one hour-long document, which is the case of many Thereoux's films.

The most boring and uninformative Theroux documentary I've seen. Literally offers no insight into anything he discusses and while typically Louis can get away with this by being entertaining he fails to do that here. I believe that Hugh has a nice future in serial killing.

So far the worst Theroux docu. Yea, we already know Americans are idiots who think their dogs has depression (they never take them for a walk), or their children has ADHD (they are spoiled brats). Feed some pills for your dogs and children - problem solved. This time Theroux just present the fact without going any further.

Starts off as a pretty hum-drum look at doped-up kids with behavioural problems but turns into one of Louis' most balanced investigations, as he tries to offset the understandable reasons parents decide to choose this option with speaking to a 'now-clean' adult describe the experience as being "out of it" and watching a teenage girl restlessly waiting for her tablet like a cokehead waiting for his fix. Nothing spectacular, provides no easy answers, but thought-provoking.

A little boring to be honest. Louis is good as usual at letting the things these people say and do speak for themselves, and that Hugh kid was pretty creepy. Other than that not really too revelatory or interesting.

Not Louis' best I'm afraid. It doesn't offer any new real insight; Westerners are already prescription crazy and it doesn't stop at psychological drugs. With that said Louis' discourse with Hugh towards the end manages to be a legitimate breakthrough conversation for the film amid a bunch of rather uninteresting conversations.
