Jason Bailey’s review published on Letterboxd:
Among the profound insights shared by filmmaker Chris Bell ('Bigger, Stronger, Faster') in this mind-blowing exposé of the prescription drug industry: “They’re destroying families.” (GET OUT.) “These doctor seem to be more concerned with profit than with healing.” (YA DON’T SAY.) “For Big Pharma, money is good.” (ALERT THE MEDIA.) These and other insights may come as a surprise to someone who knows absolutely nothing about this story — or who doesn’t watch Last Week Tonight, where John Oliver took down the industry with more wit and precision in 15 minutes than Bell can muster in 90. Along the way, he leverages a family tragedy and his own addiction to score cheap dramatic points, conveying it all in a stock-footage-and-naïve-voiceover style swiped wholesale from Michael Moore. One of his interview subjects sums it up best, answering one of Bell’s asinine and obvious questions: “Everybody who’s watching this knows the answer to that.”
