noa, i am glad that you gave a mini review of girl, interrupted. the book is one of my favorites. i was weary of seeing the movie because movies based on books are often pretty dissapointing; everything that matters, the literature, gets lost. and i don't often enjoy movies depicting characters with mental disorders because they never get it quite right--movies seem to glamorize or humorize these disorders. but i saw an interview with winona ryder where she talked of her own depression, not in a whiney or self-sacrificing way, but very straightforward, so i did want to see what she did with the book.
thanks!
