This is an excellent movie. Wynona Ryder plays a disturbed teen who reluctantly commits herself to a mental institution, bowing to pressure from her parents. All of the acting is fantastic, including that of Whoopi Goldberg and whoever it is that plays fellow inmate Daisy. But it’s Angelina Jolie who overwhelms the viewer with her raw sociopathic self, possibly because most of us don’t have any experience with someone so out of touch with social mores. The movie is creepy and engaging and heart-wrenching to watch.
