Beautiful & Thought-Provoking

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2007)

Girl, Interrupted goes down as one of my all time favourite films, its just perfect. I watched it by chance on a movie channel and was completely captivated, the story line is amazing and the acting is just beyond belief. Angelina Jolie plays a sociopath almost too well I'd say, and Winona Ryder is... a breath of fresh air. The scene when they go to Daisy's (Murphy) house and Lisa (Jolie) confronts her about her father makes me cry buckets, and I don't cry at films easily, and when Susanna (Ryder)is walking up the stairs and you know Daisy is dead, its just incredible and it actually hurts your heart. I also admire the smaller roles in it such as Georgina or Valerie, the cast is enchanting. The ending was beautiful and apt, and I love that the taxi driver is the same guy that took her in! Susanna was never 'crazy' and some people argue whether she should of gone into the institution or not. She obviously did, she wasn't insane, she just needed a wake-up call and to help her grow up and deal with her emotional issues. I love this film! 10/10 - Perfection in a movie.
