One Flew over the Girl
Of course any movie made about people in a psychiatric ward will resemble the classic 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'. This we also do not know for sure if the leading character is sane or not.

Winona Ryder is great in this movie, though a little too pretty. The best perfomance comes from Angelina Jolie, who is just amazing. The movie is sometimes a little sad, frightening, scary but also moving. The ending is a little sweet but not too sweet. A happy ending with a twist.

The music is great since it plays in 1968, although the theme of the sixties is a little underplayed. It is still a great movie though.

Really insightful and inspiring!
Susanna Kaysen's story of her two year stay at a mental hospital in the 1960's is a real eye-opener. It's almost uncanny of how much sense the people have - that they are more real than any of the people you know. There really is a fine line between genius and insanity, and this just reminds you of how close you can get. Just watching it seemed to take me on a backward step to examine myself from a whole new view and to open my mind to the depth of emotions and stability.

The performances in this movie are just captivating and bring the story to an inspirational level. I've always admired Winona Ryder for her compassion in her acting. Her work on Susanna was just wonderful - doesn't she deserve an Academy Award as well? ...And Angelina Jolie, whom I usually avoid, was terrific. I can't imagine any other cast with half the success.

I really enjoyed this film and the insight it both offers and provokes. It's going to be something I'm going to watch again and again ...especially when I'm depressed or confused. This is like a sweet, mysterious psychology lesson. (That sounded weird, but really, don't pass this up!)

It gives you a new look on how normal some people are.
This is one of the most brilliant movies. The acting is superb, and the story grabs you. Angelina Jolie and Wynona Ryder do really good performances. The movies makes you think about how different people are and not to judge and be more aware of people's feelings. The movie is awesome. I highly reccomend it.
