great movie based on a good book

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2004)

this was a great movie based on a good book by susanna kaysen. i didn't see the movie till recently, and after finding out that it's based on a book i've decided to read it as well i found that after reading the actual book it didn't exactly follow the movie, but the movie was so great that i didn't mind it at all movie seemed to have been a story based on the characters on the book and i thought it was well written the actresses(mainly) were great Winona Ryder terrific and Angelina Jolie well deserving her Oscar. Brittany Murphy i thought was great too same goes for Whoopi Goldberg the music really worked for me creating that 60's setting especially Bookends in the first scene so overall great movie that had meaning best i've seen in a long while
