Based on true events. On the edges of Las Vegas, 17-year-old Andrew's life is spiraling out of control. Unable to cope with the loss of his father, Andrew's descent into drugs and violence is gaining momentum, and the once promising young man is now headed for self-destruction. Andrew's mother, helpless to control her son and fighting an addiction of her own, refuses to watch idly as her only child destroys himself. As a last resort, she hires a private company to forcibly kidnap and confine him in a locked-down and corrupt psychiatric hospital. As Andrew is subjected to the secret physical and emotional abuses of the program, something inside him is re-awakened. He must somehow get free to save what's left of his life, but to do that, he knows he must first face his own demons head-on.
Leave your thoughts about Self Medicated.
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasIf Brightway's main contribution to Lapica's life was to convince him to take up filmmaking, they deserved to be shut down by the government. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThough buoyed by Anthony Marinelli’s moody score and Denis Maloney’s gutsy cinematography, Self-Medicated suffers from severe dramatic droop. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussHeartfelt it clearly is. Disciplined and focused on what's truly intriguing about the story, not so much. |
| MTVKurt LoderThis is a movie with a disturbing story to tell, but it promises more for the future of its first-time director, writer and star, Monty Lapica, than it really delivers for a viewer. The picture over-punches its message and ultimately grows tiresome. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonThough the script and storytelling could have used more polish, Lapica's honesty provides the lasting impression. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzSelf Medicated is that rare treat: a really good movie and, one hopes for Lapica, the start of something even bigger. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenFirst-time writer-director-producer-actor is a fellow to watch. This debut film, which won 40 awards at festivals, is a trenchant, albeit tearjerking, look at a 17-year-old on the road to self-destruction. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik Childress[Director] Lapica displays a nice flair behind the camera giving the film a polished leg-up on the usual dry melodrama. |
| Boston GlobeJanice PageIt's worth noting that the movie's spiritual underpinnings are sometimes fairly subtle and other times veer into "Touched by an Angel" territory. The third act is downright Bible-thumping. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaA more seasoned writer would steer clear of false, assembly-line contrivances. |
