Synopsis

Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.

Set in the changing world of the late 1960s, Susanna Kaysen's prescribed "short rest" from a psychiatrist she had met only once becomes a strange, unknown journey into Alice's Wonderland, where she struggles with the thin line between normal and crazy. Susanna soon realizes how hard it is to get out once she has been committed, and she ultimately has to choose between the world of people who belong inside or the difficult world of reality outside.

Objectively great film An excellent portrayal of mental health and a psyche ward. Not at all close to the source material, but a touching, heartfelt story.

Glad I didn’t watch this in high school or else I would have made it my personal mission to become Lisa. Think I understood the movie better the second time around. The hints about race and the civil rights movement felt a little strange and random
