Awesome movie.

Rating: Null/10 (4 March 2003)

Being familiar with mental institutions, I just had to see this movie. I read the book which ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST was based on. The book which this film is based on sounds similar and I will start looking for it. But, simply, this film is great.
I was happy with the depiction of the institutional life and the performances by Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie are pretty good. I was also happy to see Clea Duvall, Jared Leto, Angela Bettis, Jeffrey Tambor, Brittany Murphey and the great Whoopi Goldberg here. They all deliver fine performances as well.
The film is powerful and I was greatly amused by it. It was sad, funny and touching. I thought the ending kinda dragged a little towards the end, but the film was marvelous. It is truly a gem in the drama genre and it is a film that no one should miss. GIRL, INTERRUPTED gets 5/5.
