Unprescribed

About This Movie

So, 'Unprescribed' is this intriguing documentary that digs into a pretty heavy subject matter. It captures the struggles of military vets who are really grappling with the opioid crisis and the rising suicide rates. The tone feels raw and personal—lots of intimate interviews that let you in on their stories. It's fascinating to see how they pivot from pharmaceuticals to cannabis, which is obviously a hot topic right now. The pacing is deliberate, letting each story breathe, which I appreciate. You get to see the real-life impact of their choices, both good and bad. It's not flashy, but the way it presents these personal journeys is what makes it stand out.
