Tony Z Unwatchable. Staggers around as though someone stole random pages of the shooting script. Emotions appear and disappear out of thin air. It should be a crime to waste Christina Ricci and Michelle Williams like this, but it's just a dismal mistake. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Jerod S Ricci isn't given a clear path to show the effects of her mental state, family life and medical condition. Her path through counseling and harvard is haphazard. Lange bites her nails and the movie flounders. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Sally S This was a good movie, not sure why the rating is so low. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Sena S Even if there are obvious glaring mistakes in the editing, the viewing pleasure is high. The lead is a sweet girl, but sometimes you have to slap her in the mouth to behave properly. Such toxic youth is hard to find. When I learned that the author was describing his own life, I softened a little and wanted to give this point. It's considered a failed critique of American society. Meh if I don't get this rating just because I enjoyed her way of struggle, hoping they didn't tempt anyone with prozac in the end Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review john w Good movie about mental health and how depression can be a serious issue. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review the s Critically, this is a mess of a film. And to be frank, it's a situation where the book didn't translate or lend itself at all to film and I'll tell you why. I read the book…and it's a deep dive into excessive egoism and self-examination. I'm not suggesting that the author is so self-absorbed that there's literally not a story here for anyone but her but it's something like that. My dysfunctional family, my problems, my writing, my awards, my neuroses, my depression, my chaos, my issues, my therapy, blah, blah, blah. It's like a love letter to herself and to be honest, the reason the book sold so well was that it was at the right place and the right time. Prozac had become the go-to solution for all of Generation X's ills and those who were taking it were interested in comparing notes and those who weren't taking it were curious about it. Then they bought the book and they found this narcisssim and self-examination and I think most people felt much better about themselves afterward. That's the purpose the book served. The movie? Served absolutely no purpose except as an extension of ego for the author. Christina Ricci did the best with what she had…the acting wasn't the problem here. It's just that it was a movie that shouldn't have been made based on a book that really wasn't much of a story except as a cautionary tale of how bad things can go when people are self-obsessed and feel like their problems are so unique and challenging that they think everyone should hear about them.
