A strong powerful film of mental illness...

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2015)

I swear, this film would make you extremely angry, the doctors back then hadn't a clue on how they dealt with diagnosing an individual with mental illness. Not just the doctors but the parents, the priests and the therapists were all the same! They honestly were a disgrace for putting their loved ones in a Nuthouse just because they are in need of help. I mean everybody has problems, why on earth did they just stupidly diss this? It's like a lie where no one has problems but in fact 100% of us do! I'm glad all the asylums have closed up but there's still scars of the past for those poor people.
Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy (RIP), Winona Ryder, Clea DuVall and many others involved in this film did a fantastic job on their roles! Also thanks to Susanna Kaysen even if she didn't like the film, she has really told her story beautiful for other people who has been in institutionalize for the wrong reasons.
