Girl, Interrupted is a 1999 drama film about a teen’s 18-month stay at a mental institution, and stars Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie.
Plot: Susanna is depressed and directionless after finishing high school in the late 1960′s. A suicide attempt lands her in Claymore, a mental institution. She befriends the band of troubled women in her ward (Georgina the pathological liar, the sexually abused Daisy, the burn victim Polly) but falls under the hypnotic sway of Lisa, the wildest and most hardened of the bunch. Will Susanna “drop anchor” at Claymore and perpetually act out like Lisa, or will she finally pull her mind together and leave institutional life behind?
