Tragic and funny, a great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2000)

I just saw Girl, Interrupted in theaters a few days ago and was just completely taken by it. It was funny, depressing, and scary, but also managed to have a semi-good ending.
The most interesting character was, of course, Lisa. I think Angelina Jolie did a fantastic job playing that part. One of the things I liked best about the movie was the ending where Susanna confronts Lisa. It shows Lisa may not be dead inside after all.
The relationship between Susanna and Lisa is a very special one, a sacred one. Their friendship was also one of the things I really liked about the movie.
I also liked the characters, Susanna, Nurse Valerie, and Dr. Wick. Georgina and Polly were especially sweet and I felt bad for them when they heard what Susanna wrote about them in her notebook. And Daisy was just... beyond the point of no return. I felt very sorry for her, but I don't think she could have been helped.
This was an excellent movie and I would recommend it to all my friends and neighbors.
