Girl, Interrupted ****
USA: James Mangold, 1999 Moving and deftly observed tale about a young woman (Winona Ryder) who is wrongly committed to a mental asylum in the 60s and finds out stuff about herself that she never realized before. A cliché it may be, but this is a "journey of self-discovery" and it's a great one at that. The performances are exceptional across the board (and, for once, I didn't want to strangle Whoopi Goldberg... well, maybe just a little), and although this is really more a series of events rather than a complete story, it flows well and succeeds in being an incredibly moving piece. A bit mawkish, maybe, but that's not necessarily a problem. IMDB reference

Movies
Welcome to the movie checklist!
This section is an archive listing every movie I've seen from January 1 2005 onwards. Films I have already seen are included and will be marked with a (*), but probably won't be reviewed except under special circumstances. I will be including a rating for each film (in stars, out of 5), and hope to be able to include a brief 1-2 paragraph review of each film, although due to time constraints that won't always be possible.
