Outstanding drama

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2010)

I consider it to be, one of the most educative, intelligent dramas ever created.
The film, presents the story of the main character Susanna Kaysen, interpreted by Winnona Ryder, who spent 18 months at a mental hospital in the 1960's. She mets here a couple of very disturbed young woman, including Lisa Rowe, wonderful played by Angelina Jolie, the wildest woman out there.
Step by step, she starts to feel part of the group and her interaction with these women, especially with Lisa, changes her perspective on what is really important in life. You may say, it's similar to "One flew over the cuckoo's nest", and you may be right, still, it is a life lesson, everyone should watch it, at least once, because the message is strong, and extremely relevant, especially nowadays: Live your life, feel lucky you're healthy, because the are people out there who would do anything to be in your position.
Maybe to realize that you need a push.It's the case of Susannam who didn't realize how luck she is, until she saw the sufferance and misery of others.
If I could characterize this title in 4 words, I'd say it's: A wake up call, for everyone in delusion and denial.
I liked it a lot, because it focused on the group, and brought up a realistic image of the life in a psychiatric institution. I rate "Girl Interrupted" a **** out of *****
