US (1999) Drama
Susanna (Winona Ryder) is rushed to the hospital. Afterwards she discusses this with a psychiatrist. She had been having some delusions. She had also been having an affair with the husband of her parents' friend. The doctor suggests that combining a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of vodka was a suicide attempt. This she denies. He recommends a short period of rest at Claymoore. Claymoore is a private mental hospital full of noisy, crazy people. Georgina (Clea DuVall) is a pathological liar. Polly has been badly scarred by fire. Daisy (Brittany Murphy) won't eat in the presence of other people. Lisa (Angelina Jolie) is a sociopath, the biggest exasperation for the staff - like Nurse Valerie - and the biggest influence on the other girls in the hospital. Lisa has a history of escapes, so gaining access to personal medical files is not a problem. Susanna's boyfriend Toby (Jared Leto) is concerned that she seems too comfortable living with her institutionalized friends... Written and directed by James Mangold. Other supporting cast includes Elisabeth Moss, Jeffrey Tambor, Vanessa Redgrave and Whoopi Goldberg. (IMDb)
