Director: Alison Klayman
Writers: n/a
Release Date: 16th March 2018
Hot Rating: 💥💥
In an aside from their recent production of fictional pieces, 'Take Your Pills' is a new Netflix original documentary. The documentary takes on the contemporary critical debate regarding the effects of ADHD medication such as Adderall in America. While initially beginning this debate with informative segments on the creation and eventual mass distribution of these drugs, the feature moves on to focus on some individual case studies regarding people who have had involvement with the meds. Unfortunately, these various cases bloat the film's scope for discussion and leave much of its debate feeling sparse or ill-informed to reach any genuine conclusions. This is also a result of the hyper-stylized editing and aesthetics, which can make the film's serious moments appear caricature. These often psychedelic visuals are reflective of the documentaries outcome; a feature that is too involved with the surface level to fully grasp the argument it wants to make.
