Please love me, Noni
The plain truth is that for my entire adult life I have longed to marry Winona Ryder, or at least be one of the dozens of men she has slept with or procured prescription medication from (in my case it would have to be asthma medicine). Therefore you could say I am something of a super-fan.

Winona's portrayal of someone confined to a mental institution was so real that I clawed at my television screen while the movie played and let out squealing sobs of anguish. My wife and daughter did not understand my reaction and moved out shortly thereafter, which allowed me to convert my wife's bedroom into a shrine to Noni, something I have come to call my "Asthma Winona Project". Now incapacitated by frequent wheezing attacks, I lack the energy to do anything but eat Ding Dongs, which may mean that my dream of marrying Winona will remain just that, a dream.

Amazing
I've seen this movie a few times, and everytime I understand all the emotions more than the last.
Angelina Jolie is -amazing- in this movie. Its possibly my favorite performance of her (Mr. and Mrs. Smith was good, though).
I suggest this movie to _anyone_. There is something in it for everyone.

Jolie's best performance to date...and Ryders last
I watched this film again last night with my wife (her first time) and upon the second go through I appreciated the film for much more than I felt the first go through. I will openly admit that the first watching was for a glimpse Jolie's beauty, and her role in this film somehwat prohibits that. Watching for the second time, this time around for the pure acting and or story line and theres much more to report. If ever an actress deserved an award more than Jolie here please let me know. She NAILED her performance in everyway, outshining Ryder by a long shot and proving that she is by far one of the most talented leading ladies around. Lisa (Jolie's charactor) is the most interesting person on screen, her soul is captured by Jolie's passion for her art here and you feel attached to her, just as Susanna (Ryder) is throughout this film...The film is actually someone mellow-dramatic when Jolie is not around. This film has an air of sadness about it as you see these girls and how their lives are destroyed by their illnesses...a young girl with burn scares almost brought me to tears when she's crying and screaming about being ugly...and when Ryder and Jolie sing her to sleep...it's heart breaking...as is one of the final scenes when Ryder confronts Jolie with her true feelings. This is a great film that shouldn't be missed, and is full of great performances by actresses that don't deliver normally like Brittney Murphy who soars in her performance here. A note, kinda humourous actually, but in the beginning when Ryder is talking she asks if you've ever stolen something when you had the money...HA, she did!!!!
