Review of Generation Rx (2008) by Antony M — 30 Aug 2009

While its subject matter is of great importance to our generation, its several interviews are often fascinating and its revelations and observations on the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry are often startling, the film seems to wallow in it's own sense of pseudo-philosiphy and student project-esque hyperbole to the extent where it really lacks the flair and immediacy needed to captivate it's audience and tell viewers of the geniune and alarming issues that the film deals with.

The overall production value is incredibly low and makes parts of the film almost unwatchable due to the sheer amatuerness of the editing and post production. Its a shame because the film is genuinely informative and the interviews are well conducted and interesting, but in the end, the whole thing seems to drag on in a disjointed and often confusing mess.
