Girl, Interrupted = excellent film

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2004)

Exciting movie with exceptional acting by Angelina Jolie as well as Brittney Murphey, Winona Ryder, and Whoopie Goldberg. Keeps the watcher interested. An excellent plot based on the true story of Susanna Kaysen's autobiography on her stay in a mental institution. Susanna Kaysen is played by Winona whom was hoping for this to be her big comeback to the big screen. However, unlike Winona hoped, Angelina stole the spotlight taking up all the attention for this movie in her role as Lisa Rowe (Susanna's best friend), a sociopath, who takes the movie to extreme limits. Angelina Jolie won a well deserved academy award for best supporting actress for the flick. Definitely one of Angelina's better movies. Fast paced and exciting, Girl, Interrupted is definitely one of the greatest movies of 1999 and deserves all the credit it gets.
