not a female One Flew Over the Cukoo's nest

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2001)

Girl, Interrupted isn't a terrible movie but it tries so hard to be edgy. A beautiful and talanted actress like Winona Ryder hasnt had exposure for years because of her choice of movies like this. This might have been a labour of love for her but to me it was just a hokey movie. Ryder stars as a troubled girl with a personality disorder who goes to a mental institution. Inside she connects with the world of the inpatients and she forms a bond of friendship with Angelina Jolie. Jolie- well the verdict is still out on her. She might have deserved her Oscar but I dont think she'll ever live up to it. She is more of a media skank the same way phony people are. The acting is OK and some of the scenes are OK but it's underworked. **
