Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
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.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
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.
Stratos Lmn This is a great documentary. It IS a documentary because it interviews people who are authorities in their own profession. Nevertheless, this film shows a hard truth and it needs ability to confront in order to understand what is really happening. Respect for all those in the film for the courage to stand out and shout the truth.This film shows in a very simple way how psychiatry acts as a fraud and its original origins and motives. Covered with facts. How the "science" based on opinions became an official medial practice. If you take in consideration what you'll see, you will understand much more about the world you live in.
Sunny CCHR! Job well done. They did a great job at "taking down" their target, "Psychiatry". It was hard to sit through the whole movie as it looked more like a volley of advertisements and head cracking visualizations all targeting one simple agenda, "Psychiatry is Evil". They did a great job at compiling plethora of instances from medieval times to vilify this profession. Their greatness did not stop there and they went on to connect Psychiatry with German Holocaust, USSR crisis, 9/11, school killings and what not. I am sure if they had more time, they would have linked Psychiatry with each wrong doings in the society because they seem to be just too good at it. I wish this documentary could have been done in a scientific way rather than "plain, simple and poor vilification". I am sure if someone views this documentary, the already stigmatized mental illness phenomenon will leave that person even more stigmatized. Brain is complex, the way it works is even more complex and products of its function are way too complex than a man's brain can dare to imagine and understand. Neuroscientists after the genome project have revealed solid evidence tracing the cause of mental illness and such poor documentaries are just too stigmatizing towards a healthy scientific venture. While watching this documentary I googled the vice president of CCHR Jan Eastgate and what I found out was not surprising. Here is the link: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/06/jan_eastgate.php I hope better documentaries with scientific basis do make their way into mass media so that the already stigmatized mental illness can be de- stigmatized.
