Not a bad movie. Why did Miramax never release it? They have certainly released other movies in the past four years that are a lot worse than this one. Christina Ricci (as Elizabeth Wurtzel) and Michelle Williams (as her roommate) are both great. Ricci manages to make Wurtzel sympathetic, which is more than Wurtzel herself has ever been able to do in her books, all of which are self-absorbed memoirs. Most of the rest of the cast is good too, but there us a curious exception to this: All the male roles, Wurtzel's father and college boyfriends are very badly acted. Also, Ann Hechte was ridiculous as a psychiatrist. She mostly just stares expressionless at Wurtzel.
