whack job

Girl, interrupted.

Follows the development and story of Susanna,.
Depressed and directionless after finishing high school in the late 60s.
Who becomes a patient of Claymoore mental institution after a suicide attempt.
Susanna is sane and locked into a private mental hospital full of noisy, crazy people for 18months.
Georgina is a pathological liar.
Polly has been badly scarred by fire.
Daisy won't eat in the presence of other people.
Lisa is a sociopath.
Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy.
Was I ever crazy? Maybe. Or maybe life is... Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever.

  1. This is a fantastic movie. I just lent it out to someone. I think my favorite part about it is the time that it was set in. It is a unique perspective to have the setting be in such a secluded and cut off world, such as an mental institution, while the outside is fighting a war and going through major cultural changes.
