Dr. Feelgood: Dealer or Healer? Reviews
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Marson puts the onus on her audience to look below the surface at the complexities of the case and the drug itself.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Provocative, accessible and refreshingly fair and balanced.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Embracing a structure that implicitly acknowledges the complexity of the issue, Ms. Marson nevertheless contributes to the film's general fuzziness by failing to clarify the legal and moral guidelines that govern these kinds of prescriptions.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The documentary raises important and substantial questions about an issue that has only become increasingly relevant in recent years.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Marson's lively narrative employs a lot of diverse voices as well as a surprising amount of archival footage in telling a story that's ethically complex yet easy to follow. All tech and design contributions are nicely turned.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
Compassionate yet well-balanced and highly human documentary about pain-management physician William Hurwitz.
