msceast Review of Girl, Interrupted

Girl, Interrupted (1999)

Okay movie but look elsewhere for info on borderline personality

[2/10 · 14 January 2007]

Movie was okay. Haven't read the book, but appears to me to be more of an Angelina Jolie vehicle rather that of Miss Ryder. Kudos for handling the way Miss Ryder character's condition was revealed, but more detailed insight into borderline behavior's would have been appreciated. We just see a slightly rebellious but nice little lady and none of the pain Miss Ryders character must have endured as a borderline prior to her hospitalization. This should have been developed more, instead we get to see endless Jolie escapades. A better movie by far is Prozac nation feature Christina Ricci. Girl Interrputed, A dollar rental okay, but would not add to collection.
