garthlotel This film is unforgettable for many reasons, but mostly for Jolie's masterful portrayal of a psychopath. She is utterly mesmerising in this movie and she steals every scene she is in. The ensemble cast is also great, with brilliant turns from a young Elisabeth Moss and Brittany Murphy. Winona Ryder is captivating as always and carries this beautiful film through to the end.

Chloe George This film shows how bad mental health can REALLY get, untreated. I'm on my way to being so but clinging on for dear life for my children's, friend's , family's sake and mine! I think the more up to date version of this film would be "Sucker Punch" another one of my fave's.I made a good friend at the end of last year and I hurt her more than I have hurt anyone I have ever encountered in my life, I'm 35. The second time I saw this film was while I was living in her home in January this year, with her, this film made so much more sense when I watched it this time and I am riddled with guilt from what I did to her and her family. I cant take back what I've done but hopefully one day she will be able to forgive me? My love always and forever Zara Love Chloe Your partner in the circumstance of being a "Girl Interrupted" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A_Different_Drummer First the IMDb rating is much too low - duh! -- EVEN IF you overlook the near-perfect script, direction, casting, sets -- even if you overlook that the movie is engaging and solid on its own, you end up with the inescapable fact that, FROZEN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME, you have in front of you two of the most perfect faces Hollywood has ever produced.Forget Garbo. Forget Taylor. Forget the Alamo. How much of this already great film gives the viewer endless closeups of Ryder and Jolie? (Ryder, for some mysterious reason, seemingly at the end of her star run in Tinseltown, gives arguably the best performance of her life. Oh those cheekbones! Oh those eyes! And Jolie just before she became an action icon in the new century, deliberately underplaying the part so as not to steal from Ryder).Classic film. See it once. See it often.

Harry Waterman The angsty memoir by Susanna Kaysen that poses the argument of whether or not radicalisation of a youngster's psyche could be symptoms of mental illness and the battle between illness and indifference. The memoir reads of the stay a young woman had at the same mental hospital that cared for Sylvia Plath and how she questions everything about herself, her life and her planet. Girl, Interrupted (the motion-picture) waters down a heck of a lot of the plot and replaces it with fictionalised and heavily dramatised events completely absent from the real story, however it benefits from an all-star cast and impressive performances from Angelina Jolie and the late Brittany Murphy.
