Screen Comment: “A Timely Indictment of Big Pharma Greed”
July 24, 2026. “The film’s subject matter is undeniably compelling, and Bremner’s screenplay keeps its moral compass firmly pointed toward justice. Public health and mental health remain pressing concerns, particularly as debates surrounding pharmaceutical oversight continue. Having devoted much of his professional career to studying these issues, Bremner uses the film to spotlight two essential themes: the importance of rigorous medical research and the accountability of those who prioritize profit over human lives.” Review by Anthony Francis in Screen Comment is here.
