Girl Interrupted is about a young woman spending a short stay at a mental institution with real loonies.

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2012)

Angelina Jolie, Winona Ryder and Brittany Murphy are phenomenal actresses and this film couldn't have been any better! Winona Ryder plays Susanna Kaysen a young high school graduate, falling into depression and downing a bottle of aspirin and chases it with vodka. That lands her a year stay at a mental institution, where she meets her new best friend Lisa(Angelina Jolie). Susanna gets diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, although there is nothing really wrong with her. She spends so much time with her new friends, she makes believe she is really crazy. Sneaking out at nights with the other girls and befriending Lisa, puts her in a different state of mind. She starts to treat doctors like the crazies did and disrespecting the head nurse (Whoopi Goldberg).Lisa received shock therapy for the last time and convinces Susanna to escape with her, to be Princesses in Disney Land. They go to Daisy's house (Brittany Murphy)a recently released patient, to stay until they can make some money. The night they got there Lisa rattles Daisy's cage. Susanna and Lisa wake up to find Daisy hung herself. Susanna reports this to authorities right away while Lisa flees the scene. Susanna returns to the facility she escaped from alone, and actually started getting better after she cut off ties with Lisa. Her stay at the mental institution changed her views on life and she made life long friends that helped educate her about peoples differences. I believe she became a more aware, more understanding person of a not so understanding situation. This movie brings out all emotions from anger to complete happiness , confusion and delusion, and laughing and crying. This movie is a must see for anyone who likes great actresses playing crazy people !
