What a movie! Some of my favorite female actors: Angelina Jolie, Wynona Rider, Brittany Murphy - amazing cast, great story line. I haven't read the book, but plan to buy it this weekend. it captured the 1960s-early 70's perfectly, with the strict role expectations, the intolerance of anyone who doesn't conform, the lack of communication between adults and teens - well I guess that crap is still going on, but the movie was great. Esp the part about the Brittany Murphy character, and her sick relationship with her SOB father - scary, but her acting was great. The film has a "happy" ending, in that Angelina and Wynona's characters survive and seem to have the skills to live happily. the story: Wynona's character exhibits some impulsive behavior, sexually impulsive, tries feeble attempt at OD, "diagnosed" as borderline and sent to psych hospital for young women, where she meets other emotionally disturbed girls, some very much so, others just unconformists who end up there because they need to learn how to conform. Good movie for women's group discussion.
