O ovom filmu

Award winners Christina Ricci (CURSED, MONSTER) and Jessica Lange (BIG FISH, ROB ROY) star in this emotionally charged true story about a journey into excess! When talented young writer Elizabeth Wurtzel (Ricci) earns a scholarship to Harvard, she sees it as her chance to escape the pressures of her working-class background and concentrate on her true talent. But what starts out so promising leads to self-destructive behavior and paralyzing depression that reflects an entire generation's struggle to navigate the effects of divorce, drugs, sex, and high expectations. Based on the best-selling autobiographical novel, PROZAC NATION also stars Michelle Williams (THE STATION AGENT), Anne Heche (JOHN Q), Jason Biggs (JERSEY GIRL), and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM).

Ocene i recenzije

While not an actual favorite of mine, it's a uniquely dark/disturbing, raw glimpse into the depths of true mental-illness & the types of damaging family relationships that tend to breed it. Unhealthy attachments, suicidal thoughts, manic depressive fits, & casual drug abuse are just a few of the situations/themes covered within. While painful to watch, it's filmed from such unique perspectives--ones you don't tend to see in many films. Though it is purposely monotone througout, it's still worth your time.

I love this movie, being someone who struggles with mental health issues, I can relate alot to this movie. A real deep movie for me.

Held my interest, made me feel every emotion I have! Worth the watch.
