Set in the changing world of the late 1960s, "Girl, Interrupted" is the searing true story of Susanna Kaysen (Winona Ryder), a young woman who finds herself at a renowned mental institution for troubled young women, where she must choose between the world of people who belong on the inside -- like the seductive and dangerous Lisa (Angelina Jolie) -- or the often difficult world of reality on the outside.

Critics Consensus

Angelina Jolie gives an intense performance, but overall Girl, Interrupted suffers from thin, predictable plotting that fails to capture the power of its source material.

It's an interesting story, based on actual events.

Time Out

Does it matter that every time Jolie's offscreen the film wilts a little? Ryder should be perfect as the bright spark; her lines are sharp as a knife. There's a gap, however, between what we hear and what we see.

San Francisco Chronicle

A muddled production that misses the jarring tone of the autobiographical book by Susanna Kaysen on which it is based. The film is entertaining, but not very powerful.

Rated: 2/4 •

Gone With The Twins

As a picture that wishes to examine different characters in a specific environment (and during a brief period) rather than telling a precisely structured story, the pacing is a touch slow, though the character development is excellent.

Rated: 6/10 •

In our modern political climate, I can't think of a better narrative to revisit.

Girl, Interrupted is well-performed but hollow - and ultimately unsatisfying.

Filme bacana, o roteiro 茅 bacaninha, as cenas s茫o bacanas, a hist贸ria 茅 boa, o elenco 茅 bacana, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens s茫o bons, e o filme teve um drama que melhorou o filme, mas o filme deveria ter cenas um pouco melhores e mais relevantes.

"Girl, Interrupted" had an all star cast, each delivering the promise of a great performance. Angelina Jolie's and Wynona Rider's performances bring out their character's mental illnesses in such a way it is more of a reveal that is the whole spectrum of women's plight to be heard, seen, and free.

Story of my life Well, high school seemed like such a blur I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections And in class I dreamed all day About a rock 'n' roll weekend And the girl in the front of the room So close yet so far, ya know she never seemed to notice That this silly school-boy crush wasn't just pretend Life goes by so fast You only want to do what you think is right Close your eyes and then it's past Story of my life Story of my life, la la la la Story of my life The story of my life And I went down to my old neighborhood The faces have all changed, there's no one there left to talk to And the pool hall I loved as a kid Is now a 7-Eleven And I went downtown to look for a job I had no training, no experience to speak of And I looked at the holes in my jeans And I turned and headed back Life goes by so fast You only want to do what you think is right Close your eyes and then it's past Story of my life Story of my life, la la la la Story of my life Story of my life And good times come and good times go I only wish the good times would last a little longer And I think about the good times we had And why they had to end So I sit at the edge of my bed I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now And when you're comin' back Life goes by so fast You only want to do what you think is right Close your eyes and then it's past Story of my life Story of my life Story of my life Story of my life, la la la la Story of my life The story of my life

I wanted to watch this film because its title intrigued me. On the face of it it makes no sense, so I wanted to understand when people used the title, or made reference to the film in conversation. The film stars a lovely, shorn Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, (not yet famous). The girls are inmates in an American mental institution, which is exactly the same as most mental institutions in films, especially those (for some reason) run by nuns. Whoopi Goldberg is also present as a nurse, but she's just present. She is a good actress, but sleepwalks through this film. Ryder does better, but Jolie steals the show, her character is really the person the film should be about. The film's treatment of mental illness is not in any sense enlightening, we could be watching Boris Karloff in Asylum or Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. We are told Ryder's character's diagnosis, but she does not exhibit much of anything throughout the film. When one of the patients hangs herself, we don't care, because the character has not been built in a way that makes us interested in her. Worth a watch, mainly for the three lead actresses, but ultimately unmoving.
