Set in the changing world of the late 1960s, "Girl, Interrupted" is the searing true story of Susanna Kaysen (Winona Ryder), a young woman who finds herself at a renowned mental institution for troubled young women, where she must choose between the world of people who belong on the inside -- like the seductive and dangerous Lisa (Angelina Jolie) -- or the often difficult world of reality on the outside.

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.

Incredible film! It's so easy to get attached to a character, they are all so so interesting in their own ways! So diverse yet they all have something in common. The acting is phenomenal, there is happiness, freedom, love, connection and healing as well as sadness, jealousy, anger, frustration, confusion, manipulation and tragedy. Once you watch it, there will 100% be a part that sticks with you for a while. The story line is never ending, always something happening. 100/10.

The film itself is irritating to watch and based on a true story. Well-performed young actors especially Jolie's screen presence made this worth-watching.

This quickly became my be my favorite movie. I can honestly say that I have rewatched it more that 5 times and not a single time have I been bored. It is a very powerful movie filled with small details that just bring it all together. The more I watch it the more things that makes sense to me and things that I hadn't even caught the previous times ( for example when Susanna walked into Daisy's room, a porcelain cat was facing the wall, which was done back then by girls, before they had sex who wanted to preserve the innocence of their toys and stuffed animals she would do this everytime before her dad sexually assaulted her). The amount of people my age that resonate with the characters says a lot not just a lot about the strip but the actors who embodied their characters so perfectly. This movie although sad brings me and others a lot of comfort. I will never stop talking about how good this movie is 1000/5

Time Out

Does it matter that every time Jolie's offscreen the film wilts a little? Ryder should be perfect as the bright spark; her lines are sharp as a knife. There's a gap, however, between what we hear and what we see.

San Francisco Chronicle

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.

Rated: 2/4

In our modern political climate, I can't think of a better narrative to revisit.

Girl, Interrupted is well-performed but hollow - and ultimately unsatisfying.

Rated: 5/10

Independent on Sunday

The film is entirely disposable. Watching a group of teenagers "tongue their meds" (which does not mean doing something rude with a junior doctor) and sobbing out of windows is boring.
