''Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.''

Based on writer Susanna Kaysen's account of her 18-month stay at a mental hospital in the 1960s.

A brilliant exploration into the boundaries of reality set within an all-girl mental ward. Packed full of emotion and compelling performances. For my money Ryder, Jolie and Murphy all hit their career best with this film. However, It would be nice if they could prove me wrong.

Angelina Jolie is scary good in this film. Winona Ryder will capture your heart, and the rest of the cast will pull in you. This true story is amazingly accurate to the book. I would recommend this film to any one who is interested in history or mental health.

Susanna is depressed and directionless after finishing high school in the late 1960's. A suicide attempt lands her in Claymore, a mental institution. She befriends the band of troubled women in her ward (Georgina the pathological liar, the sexually abused Daisy, the burn victim Polly) but falls under the hypnotic sway of Lisa, the wildest and most hardened of the bunch. Will Susanna "drop anchor" at Claymore and perpetually act out like Lisa, or will she finally pull her mind together and leave institutional life behind?

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1908 movies items)

" Based on the autobiographical novel, by American author Susanna Kaysen, relating her experiences as a young woman in an American psychiatric hospital in the 1960s after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Not unlike, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Girl, Interrupted centres around institutionalize asylums, and their treatment of patients, and abuses. It’s a raw, unflinching movie with stellar performances by Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. That being, said Kaysen her"

" Susanna "Declared healthy and sent back into the world. My final diagnosis: a recovered borderline. What that means, I still don't know. Was I ever crazy? Maybe. Or maybe life is.""
