   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. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

   Is 'Girl Interrupted' a good movie?

   • Girl, Interrupted" is Hollywood's latest simple-minded treatment of mental illness. 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.

   Is 'Girl Interrupted' underrated?

   • "Girl, Interrupted" is a brilliant film and probably an underrated one. It's possible that people who hadn't seen it when Jolie won the Oscar were put off by her strange appearance at the Oscars as well as the interviews she gave about being in love with her brother, rough sex, and her use of sharp instruments. Then Ryder had her day.

   Is Girl Interrupted based on a true story?

   • Fortunately, the film understands this. Set in 1967, and adapted from Kaysen's memoir of her two-year experience as an adolescent in the throes of a middle-class crack up, "Girl Interrupted" is shrewd, tough and lively - a junior-league "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" that never makes the mistake of portraying its protagonist as a victim-naif.

   Girl Interrupted is worth watching for the superb performances from Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. Jolie deserved the Oscar she got for her role in this film of the rebellious wild child hiding an inner need. Ryder is also great and communicates so much without dialogue thanks to her oh so expressive eyes.

   This highly watchable and moving film follows Susanna's journey to reclaiming her mental health, but disconcerting depictions of 1960s-era treatments may be unsuitable for some. Still, Girl, Interrupted features strong, often complex friendships forged between women at the psychiatric hospital.

   GIRL, INTERRUPTED gets piled on the same heap as FORREST GUMP and THE English PATIENT; a movie that critics and audiences both loved, even though it is, at its very, very best, quite mediocre. Winona Ryder is one of Hollywood's biggest mysteries.
