    After attempting suicide a girl ends up in a mental hospital, where is realises she is more normal than the rest of the residents. Movie with Winona as lead but Angelina steals the show with her performance.

    Winona Ryder definitely does that wide-eyed angsty thing well.

    ''Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.''

Although there are individual scenes of powerful acting, there doesn't seem to be a destination. full review

    If you guys liked the movie, you should really read the book. The movie is only loosely based on the book, which is a real portrayal of Susanna Kayesen's stay in the same mental facility as Sylvia Plath (but not at the same time.) It's an awesome book and I would recommend everyone to read it if they truly liked the movie.

    I felt that after watching that being raised in a hostle enviroment all you know is anger when all you really want is to be loved. Realizing that your thoughts aren't necesarially right, other ways to look at things.We can heal from our enviroment to which we where raised. Lora
