I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Very compelling and heartbreaking facts in this documentary!! I think everyone should watch this and decide for themselves what to believe! At least make an informed decision, don't just blindly follow the CDC recommendations! Great film!!

The problem with advocacy documentaries is that they control the horizontal, they control the vertical - you see only the side the creators want you to see. And they get to control the non-intellectual aspects as well - evoke emotions. So you need to do your own research, in two areas. 1) Content - does the movie present both sides of a controversy accurately and with a good attempt at balance and context, and 2) Are the producers (who are inherently picking and choosing what to show you) credible as sources you can trust to exercise that discretion.I urge anyone considering this film as information for making a decision or choosing an opinion about the truth to seriously read about the history of Andrew Wakefield - the full set of charges made against him and considered judgements rendered against him, not just the selected subset he attempts to discount on the movie's website. It's harder to find a larger trashfire than his professional reputation and trying to excuse all of his credibility problems as manufactured by a pharma/government/medical conspiracy takes one down the typical rabbithole of conspiracy theory. On the content side, we have Wakefield's study of 12 children (later retracted by the Journal and repudiated by co-authors after fraudulent data and undisclosed conflicts of interest were revealed, versus a number of studies around the world involving hundreds of thousands, most not involving the CDC, etc. The film can only appear credible if you limit yourself to only what it wants you to see; if you read diverse sources, it falls apart.So let's talk about it not as a "documentary" presenting the suppressed truth, but as an advocacy film, perhaps a propaganda film - just as we can analyze wartime propaganda films from all sides. This site is supposed to be about the films, right?It's not very well made. If you are already convinced, you'll give it a 8-10 based on your agreement with it's premise, not on the quality of the film. If you disagree with the premise, you'll give it a 1 on that basis. However I'll give it a 3 (since I can't give 2.5) *as a film*. It will be quite persuasive for some minority of viewers through it's appeal to anti-corporate and anti-government and anti-science/expert sentiments, and the compelling sadness of the parents dealing with ASD may give it emotional legs.However, I can't see any reason to watch this film EXCEPT as a study of propaganda techniques. If you have an open mind about the subject, you will not come away with complete facts but only one distorted perspective with emotional potentiation; if you have enough interest in the subject matter to read, you can find all the assertions (and their extensive counterpoints) online. This biased presentation will only confuse your search for balanced truth. If you have already made up your mind either way, the film won't change it. On the other hand, if you love conspiracies, your rating might be higher even if you were previously unaware of the vaccination controversy (unlikely).

The correlation has been substantiated. The CDC has falsified it's research and obstructed justice. The millions of parents globally who have seen their children regress after a needle containing a vaccine was administered by a doctor already know this. New parents must watch !

While this is a crazy movie for crazy people, it's no reason to believe humanity will fall.While it's tragic that the people who made this movie and who vote it 10/10 will cause harm to others who have actual medical reasons they can't be vaccinated or that have otherwise weak immune response, their numbers are few and they get scorned by most others. They may kill a few and for this they need not be excused or forgiven, but they can be ignored.Just like this movie.
