AS A PATIENT IN MANY HOSPITALS,THE MOVIE MADE ME FEEL AS I WAS AT HOME. SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ILLINESS, AN ANOTHER ONE CALLED MULTIPLE PERSONALITY... DISORDED,I KNOW WHAT SHE WAS GOING THROUGHT,BEING A PATIENT ON THE INSIDE ,MEETING THE DOCTORS AN STAFF ,YOU GET TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT ALL WORKS.IN ALL THAT TIME NOT MUCH HELP EVER CAME OUT OF ALL THOSE HOSPITAL STAYS.THE DOCTORS AT TIMES DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS,EXP. THASE WHO ARE DIFFERENT. SO I'M GOING BACK TO COLLEDGE THAKEN COURSES ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT I'D HAVE,NO ONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS THE HEARTSHIP,THE PAIN AND MOST OF ALL THE DEPRESSION THAT CAN COME FROM HAVING AN PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS.HAVING XXY SYDROME ADDED TO IT, YOUR LIFE WILL BE NEVER THE SAME AGAIN.

Shrewd, tough, and lively -- a junior-league "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."Full Review

The performances in Girl, Interrupted resonate, but the movie does not.Full Review

Top performances keep true-life mental ward tale Girl, Interrupted soaring, despite a script that frequently drifts into genre clichés.Full Review

There's too much control in it and not enough danger.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

The story, having failed to provide itself with character conflicts that can be resolved with drama, turns to melodrama instead.Full Review
