This is by far the best supporting actress role ever! Angelina Jolie is brilliant, there is no doubt that she can act after this movie because she has some of the most true,most horrifying and most brilliant lines ever written and they will stay with you forever. This is a movie that truly shows you what life was like in a mental institution, it was a good hard look at a girl's life and how she handled her problems. And there are things that will haunt certain childern but once you hit high school you start to think like Susanna (winonna rider) and this movie is so good for a high school kid to watch because it shows them that not everyone is ok and that it's good to talk about your problems, Its also shows people how to make good friends and not because their friend is a sociopath (Lisa/ JOlie's character is) but whether or not that friend is helping you or holding you back. I loved this movie, everytime i feel insecure or upset i watch a few of Angelina Jolie's senses where she has some great lines and i feel better, GREAT FILM!!!
