Has anyone seen the movie or read the book?
I have only seen the movie and it was amazing! I just loved it. Christina Ricci is one of my favorites and she did a great job. It was pretty interesting and I like the way it was filmed. Plot Summary QUOTE Elizabeth, a prize-winning student, is headed for a prestigious college. As she's packing to leave, her mother harangues her about her choice of school, establishing the modus operandi for what will prove to be the turbulent core of their relationship: an ongoing game of emotional extortion. When Elizabeth arrives at university, she quickly befriends her roommate Ruby and almost immediately recreates the same powder keg she has just left behind. The situation is exacerbated by her visits to a rather suspicious psychiatrist. Matters deteriorate further when Elizabeth runs into her father and when she decides that her most recent boyfriend Rafe represents deliverance. Her only choice, ultimately, is Prozac--the wonder drug of the nineties. However, before long, Elizabeth is wondering whether the drug is really helping her--or running her life. meh, this plot summary kind of sucks. I guess this one is shorter and to the point: QUOTE A young woman (Ricci) struggles with depression during her first year at Harvard. Based on Elizabeth Wurtzel's novel
