Girl, Interrupted

After Susanna (Winona Ryder) downs a bottle of Aspirin, she is sent to an asylum. Much to her dismay, she is not there to "rest," as told by her mother, but to be observed by a strict staff or nurses. To add to her misery is the fact that the place is bursting at the seams with some eccentric, if not totally crazy, individuals. Lisa (Angelina Jolie) is a wild escapee, hell-bent on raising havoc wherever she goes. Daisy (Brittany Murphy) is a scared and deluded young girl who won't let anyone see her eat and who stores whole chicken carcasses under her bed. Together, and joined by a plethora of other unique characters and the nurses attempting to control them, the girls discover what it's like to be locked up. Even more importantly, however, they discover that life in the outside world - freedom - may not be all it's cracked up to be.
