Quality movie

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2003)

"Girl, interrupted" boasts a strong script, extremely competent cast and a very believable 60's setting. It is undeniably what an uninspired critic would call a quality movie. Yet it somehow manages to come out boring -- quite an extraordinary accomplishment. Oh, and there's Whoopi Goldberg, whose female saint impersonation I just cannot bare to watch for a single second after seeing it ruin a hundred and somety movies. Pathological typecasting, if you ask me, so don't.
On a bonus side, there's Angelina Jolie and a few truly memorable scenes. Plus some serious food for thoughts; "crazy is you and me amplified", indeed.
