Girl, Interrupted Reviews

---

hey winona -- if you wanted to go home so much, why didnt you just say "beetlejuice. beetlejuice. beetlejuice."?
a silly sophomoric take on the kooky girl goes to the nut house genre. it gets better than one star because of angelina jolie, acting the bloomers off winona ryder, who saw her career start downhill around this time. and if i have to see one more 60s-era movie that uses "the weight" on its soundtrack, i shall scream!

hits the right marks
based on the real life events of susanna keyson's 18 month stay at a mental hospital, girl interrupted tells the story of susanna's stay, were she learns she has a borderline personality disorder, meets a colorful cast of people from a pathological liar, a burn victom, a few anorexics, and the local troublemaker, a sociopath. ryder and jolie give golden performences. ryder absolutly shines as susanna, bringing her raw emotion and some crackling humor. with all this, i was shocked when she didn't get a oscar nod. jolie really gives her best performence so far for me, she just chews up the scenes playing lisa and rightfully deserved that oscar. whoopi goldberg and vennesa redgrave also give great supporting roles as two workpeople and as for the patients played by brittany murphy, clea duvall, and others also shine. a great film in shades of 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest' a must see.
