Based on the autobiographical novel by Susana Kaysen, GIRL, INTERRUPTED is the story of Susana (Rider), a confused teen who attempts suicide and is promptly passed off by her uncaring parents to a mental hospital. There, she meets an assortment of characters including Georgina, her L. Frank Baum loving roommate, Daisy, a laxative junkie, and Lisa (Jolie), a charismatic sociopath. At first, Susana is almost fools herself into thinking that there's something wrong with her, as she begins to identify and bond with her new inmates. In particular, Susana is fascinated by Lisa and her totally uninhibited behavior, and the two quickly become close. Things begin to fall apart, however, when Lisa's behavior becomes more erratic and disturbing, causing a rift between the two friends and a long delayed bout of self-discovery by Susana.

Angelina Jolie, that's the only compelling reason why I watched the film in the first place and why I walked away from it so satisfied. The woman just has it in her, and here she delivers a performance that elevates the entire film both emotionally and qualitatively to a much higher level. That said, Winona also deserves praise, as she bravely carries the main role and, given her talent, gave a performance worthy of admiration, too. It all relies on actors, which is not to say that it's a bad or uninteresting film, but in short, just as the actors made The Crossing a cinematic phenomenon and a legend, Girl, Interrupted became such a compelling drama, mainly thanks to its believable actresses, and with an Oscar-worthy veil. For the fact that I really didn't expect anything else besides Angelina, I have to bow my head in admiration of the quality of the film. 80%

It's almost embarrassing how much Angelina towers over her fellow actresses here. James Mangold, before his blockbuster career at the turn of the millennium, has cut a drama from a sort of "mental health treatment facility for the better folk" for which he also co-wrote the screenplay, among other things. The outcome isn't bad at all, but Girl, Interrupted seems like kind of a weaker younger sibling compared to the iconic One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. With the exception of Angelina Jolie’s outstanding (and rightfully Oscar-winning) performance, the entire narrative lacks any strong moment that would be indelibly etched in the memory (again, I keep coming back to Cuckoo’s Nest, which has several similar moments). Still, it's a reasonably well-constructed drama about overcoming your own fears and stepping out of your shadow, and overall it's above average.
