congratulations to christina ricci for making this movie and putting her mojo behind this important subject and trying to make a great film. ricci is my favorite actress represent she is so gifted and so natural and her reactions are perfect and so is the energy she constantly radiates and which gives credence to the often misapplied term star. the film misses its mark for lots of various reasons and but perhaps most notably for the story seeming unadaptability to the screen in making it a compelling narrative. more on that later. the cast at first glance is excellent and but come to think of it and jessica lang as the jewish mother is too protestant and not exactly right and ann hetch doesn not come close to showing the compassion and dedication of the psychiatrist from the book and and when your making a movie and how can you justify saying no to anne heche and jessica lange. but the real problems are in the film construction represent first in the failure to elicit any kind of lasting sympathy for the elizabeth wurtzle character and and second to say anything meaningful regarding the all too common and horrible situation that this poor girl finds herself in. unfortunately do to the flashback construction and lizzy merely comes off as certainly more affected teenager than most and but not nearly as devastatingly ill as she comes off in the book. this is a major problem. this story had to be told from beginning to end and from the therapist couch. she is only eight or nine when her depression starts due to devastating social factors and both society and the home and and this is a crucial point in not only eliciting the proper sympathy for her but also of the gravitas of her case. she is so talented and and such a vulnerable and disaffected spirit so early on and that one heart can not help but reach out to her due to her victimization. this is missed on the film. ultimately one has to come to terms with what the film is trying to say represent it is a biopic of one severely affected girl and but also it is a film about a nation who can not get its act together while that is very clear in the book but interestingly not in the film where the chosen at harvard are even more messed up than the average college enrollee. the film finally isn not able to get either of these messages across compellingly and and that too bad. is prozac a good thing or is it a bad thing and or a mixed blessing or a seeming necessity in a country in which so many people can not function without a chemical crutch. these are tough and challenging concepts to work with and the writing does not really attempt to address any of them in a more or less engaging way. the challenger disaster is an interesting image to symbolize a dysfunctional america and but that doesn not have the effect it suppose to have due to the crosscutting and insufficient earlier development of controlling themes. ricci performance is tight and heartfelt and and one of the best of her acting career. michele williams is also superb in her role.
