When talented young writer Elizabeth Wurtzel earns a scholarship to Harvard, she sees it as her chance to escape the pressures of her working-class background and concentrate on her true talent. But what starts out so promising leads to self-destructive behavior and paralyzing depression that reflects an entire generation's struggle to navigate the effects of divorce, drugs, sex, and high expectations.

The way this movie makes you root so deeply with Lizzie, heavily identify with her in the worst way, this self deprecation is genius

Most accurate portrayal of BPD I've seen in film. Wish there had been more insight into her inner desire to change her destructive behaviors

Love this movie. Portrays borderline personality disorder very well.

Movie was so slow and the plot was so dull. She treats everyone around her like shit and blames it on her mental illness 🫩.

Great performance by Ricci, but a dull plot that will be forgotten shortly after viewing.

This movie got worse as it went, might be a metaphor for depression but it felt like I was forcing myself to watch it by the end. <3

Started off okay but never became any better

I really wanted to like it, but it is honestly so chaotic and slow but not in good ways..she’s annoying and it makes it hard to care for her

A very good sad comfort movie, one of my favs.

Pretty forgettable movie. I love Christina Ricci but this movie just felt bizarre and like the writers needed more time.
