Entertainment Weekly -
Shrewd, tough, and lively -- a junior-league "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

Philadelphia Inquirer -
The performances in Girl, Interrupted resonate, but the movie does not.

Los Angeles Times -
Top performances keep true-life mental ward tale Girl, Interrupted soaring, despite a script that frequently drifts into genre clichés.

Boston Globe -
There's too much control in it and not enough danger.
