Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Greg P I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. I didn't see it when it came out, and now I know why. This is probably one of the only times I agree with critics, it was predictable and slow. I kept asking my daughter (14yr old) why she liked it and she couldn't "put a finger on it". This is just one of many, many starred movies that just didn't make the cut. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review L S One of the few movies I’d give a 5. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Heaven G I chose the film rating and mental health rating with 5 stars due to the accuracy this film portrays mental health disorders especially borderline personality disorder. It shows a true showcase of how people who struggle with patterns of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity throughout this film. As well as how it was portrayed in the 1960's. To top it off, Winona Ryder's and Angelina Jolie's acting was top notch. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to get a better understanding of how mental illness can take control of people's lives, but also to get a better understanding of their struggles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review helder f This movie approaches mental illness from a perspective from a patient. This is important to note. This is not a movie that a good psychoanalyst would write, as all characters are very shallowly represented in their psychological suffering . In fact, none of the characters is very likable, perhaps exactly because they’re all represented as flawed and self absorbed in their misery. Nonetheless, it is still able to reflect the problem of mental health and its treatment. The lack of her knowledge of what her own conflicts are is telling. One would hope that after 18 months, one would learn a bit more about herself. A person who is not very psychologically minded and holds to their symptoms and a possibly a therapeutic approach that doesn’t foster curiosity over oneself. She thus come up with some answers, which are as simplistic as her lack of answers. Another aspect that’s well captured is the relationships that are established among patients despite their illness. I think the casting is great. Almost typed. Wyona brings up the flavor of self indulgent sufferer. If they selected Hathaway for this role, I think the effect would have been similar. Goldberg, the grandiose nurse who thinks she knows it all. Jolie is a bit out of place and her role required a bit more of acting.
