Synopsis
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.

C’est très psychologique, les personnages et l’histoire sont réalistes. Ça fait réfléchir et je sais qu’il y a des choses que j’oublierais pas et qui me serviront.
Watched this once and immediately rewatched it again after. Cast is top tier. I am Suzanna Kaysen
Heart wrenching and lowkey real
see thirteen
I honestly expected more,but this doesn’t mean that it wasn’t good, love it love it love it!!! Like not in a romantic way (can i say it), but like,i really enjoyed how they tried to show what happens in psychiatry/recover hospital. It’s not an easy movie, wouldn’t suggest it to everyone,but i really think that it can help to spread awareness.
