Brief synopsis -
Set in the changing times of the 1960s, we follow the true story of Susanna Kaysen (Winona Ryder), a young woman who ends up in a renowned mental institution after attempting to take her own life. She faces the ultimate choice of remaining the way she is, joining those inside the asylum, or reforming and rejoining the harsh realities of life and society.

While on the “short rest” prescribed by her psychiatrist, she quickly meets the seductive, if dangerous, Lisa (Angelina Jolie). Lisa is rather devious and unpredictable, it is she who has found a hiding place away from the vigilance of the ward sisters, and the hawk-eyed matron (Whoopi Goldberg).

The short rest turns out to be a year on the ward.

Review - by Paul Harris (male)
Thoughts/Opinions - A great credit to Angelina’s career. The role of sociopath is held with great success, as is the setting and plot, although Winona Ryder is rather a weak Susanna. Not my favourite film due to its topic, but the acting and direction make for a quality movie.

Review - by Claire Bilton (female)
Thoughts/Opinions - Her rendition of Lisa Rowe is unforgettable and very convincing !  Unsurprisingly she won an Oscar for best supporting actress for this role (and not long after allegedly spent real time in a mental institution). A great film for all.
