"You are a lazy, self-indulgent, little girl, who is making herself crazy."

Lisa: Hey Torch.

Polly: Hey Lisa.

Lisa: Did you miss me?

Polly: Not much.

I have a habit of watching good movies. If they are recommended, I watch them. This movie just happened to blow a few of them out of the park. Girl, Interrupted starring Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder gives its viewers a special take on a 1960s private mental hospital. Claymoore is full of patients that may or may not be dangerous to each other but there is one character that is not dangerous to anyone except herself. Susanna, after attempting suicide with aspirin washed down with vodka, lives with the other girls in her ward and sees what it’s like to be legally crazy. She can’t help but get attached to Lisa, the wards only sociopath because of her sane presence. Lisa Rowe is the only one who is comfortable with who she is and she lets everyone know it. After many runaways and shock therapy sessions Lisa hasn’t changed a bit. Susanna faces the question of sanity more than once. Is she crazy or is she just unhappy? Can she get better? Is the choice to deteriorate solely her own? She is having a hard time deciding if she wants to live in the ward forever or force herself to get better. Find out in this stunning movie if Susanna and Lisa can get past their illness or if they will always be Girl, Interrupted.

Angelina Jolie has to be talked about…

Jolie plays Lisa Rowe in this film and it is her best performance yet.

Lisa: Playing the villain, baby, just like you want. I try to give you everything you want.

Susanna: No you don't.

Lisa: You wanted your file, I found you your file. You wanted out, I got you out. You needed *money*, *I* found you some. I'm f****** consistent-I told you the truth-I didn't write it down in a *f******book*! I told you to your *face*. And I told Daisy to her face - what everybody knew and wouldn't say, and she killed herself. And I played the f******villain, just like you wanted.

Susanna: Why would I want that?

Lisa: Because it makes you the good guy, sweet pea.

Angelina showed a seriously beautiful performance in this film. Her role as a sociopath was not easy but she made it look seamless. In my research I found out that Jolie wanted no communication with Winona Ryder (Susanna) outside of filming because she felt that if she saw anything human about Ryder it would have caused problems in her acting like a sociopath. She won as Oscar and a Golden Globe and six others for Best Supporting Actress in Girl, Interrupted.
