| I never thought that mental illness could be portrayed in such a
stale, anonymous manner but that is how "Girl, Interrupted" unspools
its subject matter. The film wants to make the case that mental
illness can be a state of mind for some, and a strong...more |

appropriate in this case: Girl, Interrupted really is a One Flew Over
the Cuckoo's Nest for the younger generation. It's almost uncanny. But
