Hard but true!!

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2006)

A duel between two good actresses: Ryder and Jolie, from Winona, her performance is not surprise, she always is OK in her roles. But Angelina shows a talent unknown in that moment.
Jolie represents to Lisa Lowe, a Psychotic girl with behavior problems. She needs somebody to talk, then finds to Sussana (Ryder) who is into the psychiatric center forced by her parents.
Sussan is not crazy, just is a girl advanced to her time. She helps to Lisa and another girls in order to live in spite of their condition. Then, Sussan notices that she is not crazy, and she find the way for going out from that place.
Mangold assembles an impressive statement about friendship with the hardness of the 60's. Ryder delivers a great acting, and Jolie develops a magisterial role. A sample from the Mangold's talent, who recently made another great film (Walk the line).
