Brief Review |
| CinemaSense |
"A well intended, but dramatically flacid tale of a young woman's struggle to find sanity, independence, and integrity." more... |
| culturevulture.net |
"There's an interesting and effective shift in viewer perceptions created by 'Girl, Interrupted,' a film based on Susanna Kaysen's memoir of her time in a psychiatric hospital during the 1960s." more... |

"The title of 'Girl, Interrupted' bears a singular subject, but audiences will likely walk out of James Mangold's adaptation thinking of two 'girls'--Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, who further cement their reputations as two of the most gifted young screen actresses today." more... |
| JoBlo's Movie Emporium |
"Dry rehashed depressing material coiffed in a couple of solid performances from Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, does not impress much in story, original characters or insight, but did manage to haul itself in less than 3 hours, so I guess that it ain't all bad!" more... |
| NY Rock: Winona Flies Over the Cuckoo's Nest |
"'When you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go – downtown,' sings Petula Clark at the beginning and end of director James Mangold's 'Girl, Interrupted.'" more... |
| Orlando Weekly: There's no place like the home |
(3 out of 5 stars) "The 'Wizard of Oz' maxim, 'You've always had the ability to go back to Kansas,' is borrowed without subtlety in 'Girl, Interrupted.'" more... |
| Salon |
"Not even foxy sociopath Angelina Jolie can save this nut-house drama." more... |
| Time |
"It's not that director (and final-draft writer) James Mangold has botched the job." more... |
| CBC Infoculture: Low on drama, but high on meaning |
