There she meets an assorted bunch of similarly disturbed
girls in the hospital run by an overbearing, but caring, charge
nurse (Whoopi Goldberg) and a psychologist (Vanessa Redgrave).
In to this mix explodes the completely deranged Angelina
Jolie (described as seductively captivating, but more apt
is selfish, deserves all she gets, pain in the backside),
who seems to break out of the security-conscious hospital
with more ease than a taxman gets into your money holder.
The senior support cast, Goldberg and Redgrave, do well
with the story and script but the others tend to flounder
with characters that are either too pathetic or unlikeable
for words.
Jolie gets by on haunted energy while Ryder does her best
with a character that you really don't tend to know, or want
to get to know.
Girl, Interrupted is no One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest. It is a seriously "who cares" movie that unfortunately
interrupted a night that could have been spent watching something
far more engaging.
And it runs for more than two hours!
