One of my all time favorites.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Is it just me or do they glorify Adderall to the point were you wish you could try some right now.

This isn't a documentary in the sense that filmmakers tried to (as unbiasedly as possible) investigate Adderal use in modern day America. It's a shock-piece that focuses on the abuse of Adderal by college students, Wall Street overachievers, etc.-a serious problem worthy of investigation but not at all grounds to condemn Adderall completely. Any substance that activates the pleasure centers of the brain has the potential for being abused. Look at painkillers! What a blessing that people recovering from major surgeries can have their suffering lessened greatly-but yeah some people abuse them. As someone who's been taking Adderal for 3 years now, I can say the amounts of Adderal some of these people were taking were huge. I'm a 265 lb, 45 year old male with an ADHD diagnosis and I take one 20 mg extended release a day. The skinny Wall Street trader said he sometimes took 120 mg of Adderal over the course of a day. The college student artist-kid was put on 50 mg--when he was only 3 years old! The film has a lot of voiceovers describing taking Adderal as this incredible, hypersonic, mindblowing rush-well, yeah if you take a s***load of it, that's exactly how it'll be. If you take a prescribed amount you'll feel more focused and productive until it wears off.This film also ignores the fact that ADHD doesn't occur in a vacuum. The feelings of not being able to focus and the resulting negative feelings associated with feeling different or stupider than your peers often leads to depression, anxiety, low self esteem, etc. And it leads to the creation of inadequate coping mechanisms like overeating, drug and alcohol abuse, risky sexual behavior etc.

This well-meaning documentary mixes old, outdated information with some current data using a template of "just say no" filtered through a dozen other perspectives, leaving a muddied view of ADHD treatment of a neuro-developmental disorder. The focus shifts between abuse of medically-indicated pharmaceuticals and street drugs, while stigmatizing ADHD itself. It contains valuable information but woven in with shame and little distinction between ADHD sufferers and thise without ADHD. Ultimately, it just makes a mess of the issue. For valuable information and resources, try YouTube Creator "How to ADHD."

This movie shows how healthy people use prescribed medication due to social demands. It does not focus on ADHD disorder and its treatment. Taking that in consideration, the documentary brings an interesting discussion to the table, which is about how the American society encourages its young adults to seek unrealistic high levels of performance.
