When talented young writer Elizabeth Wurtzel (Ricci) 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.

Recensie (2)
Christina Ricci already showed in her younger days that she would grow up to be a great actress one day (or through Wednesday in The Addams Family, the sexually adventurous girl in The Ice Storm :)), Depp's coolly beautiful companion in Sleepy Hollow, to the lead and rather difficult role in Prozac Nation). The film certainly doesn't rest on Christina alone – the script is certainly interesting and there are some strong directorial moments that are used to achieve a deeper and more evocative portrayal of the main character's psyche. Definitely a film worth watching.

Prozac Nation is a formally classic autobiography. Depression treated with this pill is told in many stories, and this one goes back to the 80s, although the production did not address anything contemporary. But who would mind that? The book was published in 1994, and primarily it's about emotions. And those are the domain of a very good cast: Christina Ricci, Anne Heche, Michelle Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Jessica Lange. There's probably no need for more.
