Critics Opinion:
„Ryder's
performance has an authenticity to it, and the actress knows how to
make us care.“
Los
Angeles Times
„Miss Ryder
gives her most penetrating screen performance.“
New
York Times
„Winona Ryder
once again proves she is the most gifted actress of her generation.
Her portrayal of a life, Interrupted is an intense emotional journey
that renews your faith in the human spirit.“
NBC
Winona Ryder gives
the film its steadying, heartfelt center. Ryder is in charge of her
camera-ready fragility and vulnerability, using it in a shrewdly
nuanced portrayal that's the best work she's ever done.
Atlanta
Chronicle
Girl, Interrupted
tackles the ever-popular subject of mental illness and -- surprise!
-- comes off less titillating than you'd expect. Much of this is due
in part to star Ryder (she plays the teenage Kaysen) and her
unswerving drive over the course of the last decade to bring the
author's story to the screen.
Austin
Chronicle
It's difficult to
imagine any actress today bringing more sentience and intelligence to
[Ryder's] role.
Boston
Globe
Susanna's inner
turmoil is reflected beautifully through Winona Ryder's
acting.
CompuServe
Based on the
popular novel, this drama is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with a
girl-power punch of Thelma and Louise.
Rating: A-

She's as natural
and perfectly proportioned a beauty as Olivia de Havilland was in her
famous mental illness turn in The Snake Pit, but here, both actress
and conception are far superior, multi-faceted and less melodramatic.
Her identification with the role must have run deep; she goes through
a gamut of emotions without ever striking a single false note.
