Very Good Chick Cuckoo's Nest

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 1999)

Basically Angelina Jolie is the cool sociopath. She has a lot of hurt inside of her and stuff and instead of dealing with it, she turns the women in Claymore's mental ward into a cool clique of girls. The film portrays Winona Ryder's character sympathetically. She is borderline, thus she has casual sex and is depressed. Everyone is trying to commit suicide in the film, and there are some scenes that are hard to watch. What is brilliant about the film is how it shows a mental asylum from the point of view of the patients. Winona Ryder's eyes see the place as a College or University for the messed up. But towards the end, she realizes she has problems and deals with them. There are many good performances, even Whoopi is good. This film should pick up some Oscar nominations, but no wins.
