Hmm...Could This HAVE Been the Greatest Film of All Time?

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 2019)

The answer is yes. But they screwed with it.
I was only able to watch the first half hour or so. I was really delighted when I began the movie. It seemed very different. A dark but open drama about a normal girl living in a normal world. But there's a disturbance about. And you want to know what it is, and why what is happening to her is happening. She's the cool rebellious girl everyone wants to be. And then when you hear Angelina Jolie won an Oscar for the movie, and you think it might fit in well with the attitude of the movie so far. But it falls short.
This movie is sort of a medical drama about disturbed people. But they're more normal than disturbed. Something about this movie is great. I didn't watch it all the way through, and possibly I will on some night in the future. But not anytime soon.
I must say that Winona Ryder did an excellent job from what I saw. I was expecting more from Jolie. The movie began great, but worsened. I was disturbed watching it.
5 stars
