Review of Girl, Interrupted (1999) by Viginti T — 24 Aug 2009

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - Lite.

This is an enjoyable enough film; there are some interesting characters, some funny lines and some poignant moments but overall it just felt like wasted potential. The characters, Susannah especially, are, despite some admirable performances by the female cast, flat and their arcs unconvincing.

Unfortunately for me the few successful and unique elements all feel hollow without and consistent or powerful emotional connection and given the subject matter such a lack in unforgivable.
