mastercinephille42's review about Girl, Interrupted(1999)

🫶

An ode to the underdogged.Incredible performances, a movie that left its mark on me and sort of haunts me in a beautiful way to this day from how much I relate to it. Please watch it, it's not even a favor you do to yourself, it's a cinematic service.

Unforgettable, period.To date, both one of my personal favorite movies and performances by both Angelina and Winona. What a duo they formed in this one. An incredibly simple plot, but which discusses and portrays complex themes and situations in very raw and downright "ugly" ways at a time when people weren't really talking about that, and in a much more sensitive way, I feel, than in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", for example, which is, granted, just as incredible of a film, but narrates/looks at a similar situation with a different tone and focus point (case in point, maybe, it was made way, way before). Please do yourselves a favor and watch it, if only to see the true range of Angelina Jolie's talent, which goes much beyond Tomb Raider.

Atuações impecáveis.Susana foi diagnosticada como vítima de "Ordem Incerta de Personalidade", com sintomas tão ambíguos que poderiam facilmente ser enquadrados como a normalidade de muitas garotas de sua idade. Após o diagnóstico, ela é enviada para um hospital psiquiátrico.

Atuações excepcionais.Angelina Jolie, vencedora do Oscar pelo papel, brilha com intensidade, mas sem caricaturas, ao interpretar uma personagem que esconde sua fragilidade com uma aparente segurança.
