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.

From the director's perspective, psychiatry film are not easy at all. There are (perhaps!) only a couple of ones that don't suffer from the heavy burden of being completely desolated from reality. The reality, is, respectively, the future tens from the movie's original release date. Girl, interrupted, is affected from the said burden as well. Being set in the 60's, filmed in late 90's.... A thick layer of smelly dust is covered on top of it. However, I find the movie enjoyable, the story is nice and soft and the exploration of the main character (Winona) is credible and touching. Lisa (Jolie) is all the contrary, non-credible and want-to-punch-you-in-the-face, with no need honestly.
