(Viewed on 1/01/12): In 1994, Wurtzel's P.N served as a warning that young people were over medicated and that mental illness was on the rise, in addition to the self portrait of victimhood she painted. When the film was finally released, the confessional culture was deeply entrenched and depression was just part of the scenery, which made it completely redundant. Ricci tries, but it's all in vain because its moment had passed. It's also rather indifferently made with a poor use of jump cuts.

Christina Ricci shines in an honest portrayal of depression. Not an easy watch, not always the most entertaining film, but an important one to watch. Less impactful than the book on which it is based, in large part because it's tough to build sympathy for the protagonist, the film is still largely effective.

Great performances all around, especially Ricci. Unfortunately, Ricci's character is unlikeable from beginning to end. And just when it seems like a breakthrough in her character occurs, the movie spends all of 30 seconds on it before rolling credits. ... Also, erratic jump cuts are a pet peeve of mine, and this movie has them in abundance.

Hey, I don't mind it. Parts of it have guts, and Christina Ricci gives the role a good crack as well. However, Jason Biggs is like the antithesis to onscreen chemistry and as a result it drags, much like his nose. You say to yourself, "I'm not overwhelmed, I'm not underwhelmed, maybe I'm just whelmed." Or at least that's what you'd say if you were in Europe.

This is an interesting but depressing movie. Christina Ricci is good in the lead role and there are some other interesting supporting performances. If you are in the mood to watch a drama about a depressed person then check this film out.
