This is my favorite movie!!!

This movie shows all of the elements of how it truly is to live in complete denial, sadness, dramatic teenage issues, and still rise above! The acting is phenomonal, and enjoyable. Thumbs Up!

Very good movie. Great actresses.

This movie was gr8!!!

Those who have lived with the mentally ill should find something comforting and relevant in this film. Those who haven't will now want to avoid them at all costs.

Really good.

Winona Ryder's performance was extremely underrated in this film.

It was excellent, the talent provided in this movie was wonderful. A definite must see DRAMA! I was impressed with Angelina Jolie and Wynona Ryder.

This film was crap.

English teachers should not show the movie to the students because the book was much better.

Whoopi Goldberg is an excellent actress. "Polly" and "Daisy" also did a great job.

I adore this movie. Jolie did an amazing job. The other "crazies" were good as well.

Angelina rules.

With Ryder and Jolie both on form, this was set to be a ten. Yet the film focuses so much on Susanna's plight that the only other characters we slightly get to know are Daisy and Lisa. This is based on an autobiography, and is clear from the film that it's one person's view (Kaysen's). However, sophisticated, eye-opening and touching, a highly underrated film.

I suppose movie critics were never young. Even though the backdrop of the 60s is a main element in the story, this film can speak to any generation old enough to want something so bad, yet not know what it is. Jolie deserved her Oscar with a powerful performance. Susanna Kaysen's story is tragic, and Winona Ryder's humbled silences perfectly translate that tragedy to the screen.

The best film I have ever seen.

Painfull life turned into amazing book turned into great well acted/ thoughtout film! top knoch!

It’s by all means a good film with great performances and a storyline that can really grab our attention. But for me, the strongest point of the movie is still showing a different side and very interesting from the "madness": Instead of focusing on a character with clear problems (in the style, "Beautiful Mind", "Shutter Island" or "Awakenings"), what you see is a social side, collectively called the "insanity". It is this differentiated approach that allows the construction of a plot so engaging. And then, instead of having a single girl being interrupted by recurring dreams and memories, we have a whole group of girls with their youth and trimmed expectations for the drugs, isolation, fear of asking for help, and finally the "female - alpha" oppressive (lackness for a better term). And if the disease is collective, so is the cure. Only through the interaction between patients is true that the prospects of healing begin to emerge. Who hasn’t seen a group of healthy young friends having fun at the bowling alley? And genuinely defending the ice cream store? And who can doubt that the moment of maximum transparency between them, at the end of the film, was the catalyst to the improvement of them all over the 70 years? Another unique approach of the film and just so important, is the break with that cliché: "the institution and society doesn’t want the cure of patients. "What there is, in fact, is a combination of several types of professionals, some more than others prepared, some more some less known, some more and others less willing to help. The common nurses, nurse John, psychiatrist and nurse Valerie Wick have different ways of acting and this influences sometimes negatively, sometimes positively recovery of patients. And this is no surprise, is a reflection of the society itself, composed of untrained people (Suzanna 's parents), genuinely concerned (the driver) or even "backers" of madness (as the father of Daisy). Finally, it is interesting to notice that Brittany Murphy committed suicide, as did Wynona Rider in one of her first speeches, interrupted her career and now - with Black Swan - is already showing signs that she’s giving a comeback, Angelina Jolie is one of the most influential women in the world and been talking some truths (if anyone has read her article in "the Economist") and Elisabeth Moss to come from a family passionate about music (like her character Polly).… Expand

Not a bad movie although Jolies character is far more interesting than Ryders and this unsettles the fluidity of the movie. Overall it a watchable and at times enjoyable movie but is ends up as a second rate One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

Girl, Interrupted is the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for women. The film, powered by strong performances by Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go.

Great performance by Angeline Jolie, she is really great in playing intense characters. Movie in general was okey, liked the cast and the story. It is a movie that's worth watching.
