Starring Christina Ricci, Michelle Williams, Jason Biggs, and Jessica Lange.
Prozac Nation is about a Harvard freshman named 'Lizzie' (Ricci) dealing with depression.
The film bothered me. Not because of poor acting or way the story is told, because those are both nice things. But because of the way Lizzie deals with things. She's clingy, she's a little crazy, she's detached from reality. I suppose dealing with my own depression caused me to look at the way she dealt with hers and say "that's not right." She throws temper tantrums, she's whiny, she won't leave her boyfriend alone. Depression, to my belief, is ignoring people and forcing them to come to you. Perhaps it's different for everybody, but in my mind, she wasn't crying for help; she was just crying for attention, and it was horrible to watch.
I would recommend this movie to the type of people who drink wine, probably, I'm not sure. I'd rate it a 3.
Prozac Nation currently holds a 29% critic rating and a 58% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
