Pretentious

Rating: 3/10 (16 May 2001)

Girl, Interrupted(1999) had a fascinating premise but unfortuntely failed to produce any source of conviction from its story. Angelina Jolie deservely got the Oscar for what is the top performance of the film. Plays like a tame version of the the famous Jack Nicholson-Milos Forman film. Not a daring film when it comes to the depiction of life around an asylum. A film that fully captures the feeling and mood of a person being in an asylum is the masterful and superior Samuel Fuller film, Shock Corridor(1963).
