Storyline
Set in the changing world of the late 1960s, Susanna Kaysen's prescribed "short rest" from a psychiatrist she had met only once becomes a strange, unknown journey into Alice's Wonderland, where she struggles with the thin line between normal and crazy. Susanna soon realizes how hard it is to get out once she has been committed, and she ultimately has to choose between the world of people who belong inside or the difficult world of reality outside.

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.

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.

Chicago Sun-Times
The story, having failed to provide itself with character conflicts that can be resolved with drama, turns to melodrama instead.
