Prozac Nation

I wanted to watch this movie because I heard a little about the best selling novel from a friend so I thought I'd give this movie a shot because I can't be bothered to spend too much time reading a depressing novel.

Yep, this was a very depressing movie, however, an insight to what clinically depressed people go through. It was heart-breaking in many ways. Besides that, Christina Ricci's acting was incredibly powerful.

It basically tells a true story about this young girl who had a hard childhood because of her parent's divorce. She goes to Harvard to study journalism and that's when you see her gradual and sudden fall into depression. She became one of he youngest music writers for Rolling Stone then comes the core of the movie, her depression.

Jessica Lange, her mother acted brilliantly well too. You see how Ricci is caught up between her mom and dad who are divorced and her flash backs into childhood. Of course when things are a little too late for her to handle her depression, she is prescribed with prozac.

The movie was not all that apart from understanding what the world is like for a depressed person and the crazy measures they would take to escape their reality.
