Angelina McMurphey?

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2000)

Yeah, I have to recall "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" for this one. Winona Ryder does her best acting that I have seen to date playing Susanna Kayson, a writer who learns compassion from a gaggle of misfits. Ryder's voice over narration still sounds like "Heathers," but her overall performance is somewhat better. Clearly, the film belongs to Jolie, who is superb (when is she not?) as Lisa, the possible sociopath who has a bad habit of helping out her fellow committed neighbors. Her Academy Award winning performance rocks the screen with a no BS attitude. Jolie is like a fine-tuned soprano singing her best aria; the film utilizes her charisma, her sensuality, and her amazing emotional range.
