Girl, Interrupted (1999)
girl not interrupted when watching this film.
I started out thinking that in no way this movie could be as good as the book. I was very familiar with Susanna Kaysen's work, and was preparing myself to be disappointed with this film. However, no such thing happened. I loved this movie, and I would recommend it to anyone with vision enough to watch it. This movie went beyond the book, adding likability to the characters as it progressed. Winona Ryder did an excellent job portraying the protagonist, and Angelina will make you rewind parts over and over again, especially the part with the cat puppet, which I still say was far too short. Clea DuVall plays the part of Susanna's roommate, and gives one of her best performances yet. This is by far my favorite film by James Mangold, and as I said earlier, I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys a good story.
