DVD Reviews of Girl, Interrupted
DVD Review: Girl, Interrupted
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the item for a class project as a Behavior Health major. The movie was excellent and I received an "A" on the project. What more can I say. Thank you for the timely manner in which the item was delivered.DVD Review: The greatest movie of my generation
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 19 when this movie came out and I memorized all the lines in it. At the time I was unsure about myself and life. Now I am 26 and I still can watch this movie and get something out of it.Maybe from a differant and more clear perspective from life,but still, I believe it is one of the greatest achievements in cinema.Every actress puts on her full transparent armor in this movie. Angie deserved the Oscar she got and all the ladies in the film gave heart wrenching performances.
This is worth the watch and the soundtrack is noteworthy as well.The book by Susana Kayson is also a well worthy read.
DVD Review: girl interrupted
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie had some harsh language but, I felt that it was appropriate for the subject matter of the film. The performances were great, especiallly Angelina Jolie, Whoopie Goldberg, Wynonna Ryder and Brittany Murphy. DVD Review: borish fantasy
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with the Amazon reviewers first two points. its a coocoo's nest setup and actors love to play loonies so they can get away with over blown performances.
would you pay money to be locked in the room with a borderline personality? HELL NO!!! in real life borderlines are incurable. theyre damage too severe - their personalities too scrambled. fortunately this movie is very inconsistant - and plays fast and loose with the actual mental illness part of the story.
really the story is about actresses. you get a borish depressed winona and an agressive bitchy angelina. you may find that entertaining. but i found it dull and annoying.
DVD Review: Ambivalent. It's my new favorite word.
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps it's because I empathize with the main character Suzanna, but this movie draws you in from the very beginning. I remember watching it for the first time in 8th grade with my best friend. She picked it out and I wasn't exactly thrilled about it, but from scene one, I couldn't look away. It's not everyone's cup of tea, I'm sure, but for those of us who aren't perfect, it's a masterpiece. Nine years later, this is still one of my favorite movies... in fact, I just watched it yesterday.
Description of Girl, Interrupted
After a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen is sent to McLean Hospital, where she spends the next two years on a ward for disturbed teenage girls.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 4-FEB-2003
Media Type: DVD
Based on Susanna Kaysen's acclaimed journal-memoir, Girl, Interrupted bears inevitable resemblance to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and pale comparison to that earlier classic is impossible to avoid. The mental institution settings of both films guarantee a certain degree of d?j? vu and at least one Oscar winner (in this case, Angelina Jolie), since playing a loony is any actor's dream gig. Unfortunately, director James Mangold seems to have misplaced the depth and delicacy of his underrated debut, Heavy, despite a great deal of earnest effort by everyone involved. It's easy to see why Winona Ryder chose to star in (and executive-produce) this nearly worthy adaptation of Kaysen's book, since it's a strong vehicle for female casting and potent drama. Mangold certainly got the former; whether he succeeded with the latter is not so clear.
To be sure, Ryder conveys the confusion and chaos that signified Kaysen's life during nearly 18?months of voluntary institutionalization beginning in 1967. But the film seems too eager to embrace the clich? that the "crazies" of the Claymoore women's ward are saner than the war-torn world outside, and lack of narrative focus gives way to semipredictable character study. Susanna (Ryder) is labeled with "borderline personality disorder," a diagnosis as ambiguous as her own emotions, and while Jolie chews the scenery as the resident bad-girl sociopath, Ryder effectively conveys an odyssey from vulnerable fear to self-awareness and, finally, to healing. The ensemble cast is uniformly superb, making this drama well worthwhile, even as it treads familiar territory. If it ultimately lacks dramatic impact, Girl, Interrupted makes it painfully clear that the boundaries of dysfunction are hazy in a world where everyone's crazy once in a while. --Jeff Shannon
