Discussion Kinda off topic but not completely (movie time!)

Anybody seen Girl, Interrupted from the 90s? With Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. I watched it for the first time yesterday and found myself strangely relating to a lot of it, but then other parts seem unrealistic. Thoughts from anyone who's seen it?

I haven't seen it yet, but I have it in my "movies to watch list". I think I'll watch it this weekend. I know it's based on a novel, I was wondering whether I should read the book and then watch the movie? If anyone has read the novel and seen the movie please feel free to share which one you preferred! I've noticed that usually I prefer the books rather than the movies based on them. I assume it's because I constantly keep commenting to myself on what was left out the movie and how I imagined the characters differently lol. I'll come back to this post after I watch the movie!

I watched the movie and, as promised, I'm coming back to this post. I'm really interested in the OP's opinion: @pleasexbexover Which parts of the movie felt relatable to you, and which parts seemed unrealistic?
