Girl,Interrupted

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2006)

when i thought of watching this film i had very low expectations because i drew upon the wrong idea that Angelina Jolie would spoil the film by continuously pouting. She had annoyed me in Tomb raider and i was unsure whether she could play it straight.
Girl,interrupted is ultimate car crash watching. You are made to feel uncomfortable so many times through out the film but still you feel compelled to watch. The ending is definitely worthwhile. Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie play opposite each other amazingly and they contrast perfectly.
This film makes you question a lot of things in life and your own mind. it deals with the worst issues and slams them right in your face and still leaves you wanting more. It is heartwarming without being so sickly sweet its vomit inducing.Its frank without being patronising. Its real life. i can see a lot of things in myself from the film and have realised many things too. However dark this film is, it always makes you realise there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. ....oh and Angelina Jolie can act.
