4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Adaptation, 26 Feb 2006
Although this film has had a lot of mixed reviews, this may partly be due to the fact that it only depicts Elizabeth Wurtzel's first year at harvard. Based on her best selling novel of the same name, Elizabeth is seen leaving for Uni where she hopes to find a place to fit in. While it is true that the film's subject matter is hard to bring to film, I feel it does it justice for a number of reasons. Firstly, it captures the 80s well, with Lou Reed making an appearence, and the fashion/music is very 80s. Secondly, the performances are excellent, with Christina ricci and jessica Lang performing the strained relationship of mother and daughter brilliantly. While other reviews have said that Elizabeth comes off as nothing more than a brat, the film does portray the bitter, twisted nature of depression, and how it turns you into such a isolated, cruel person. Other strong performances include Michelle Williams and Jason Biggs. If you liked the book, I would recommend the film.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad Day in Bratville, 16 Sep 2005
By Locke (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Prozac Nation, the best-selling, honest and inspiring debut novel by Elizabeth Wurtzel has finally had the celuloid treatment. And what a disasterous idea it was and has become. What should have been a no-holds-barred depiction of what it is like to suffer the agony and isolation of clinical depression, has been rendered so inexpertly as to make Elizabeth Wurtzel into a moaning, selfish and moody teenager. It is as if the novel were put into a shredder and then glued back together by someone with no interest in refering to the actual story. Some of the re-imaginings are so inaccurate as to be both hilarious and infuriating in equal measure.
However, this film is not without some saving graces. Christina Ricci's performance (given the limited and cliche-ridden screenplay) is very engaging and sufficiently unrestrained as to give some idea of the protagonist's condition. Jessica Lange is as compelling as usual: her mixture of fragile obliviousness and domineering hysteria is always a pleasure. Although in this particular guise (as Elizabeth's mother) it is as she is giving a performance for the film it should have been, rather than the film it essentially is. The remainder of the supporting actors are a strange assortment of wondefully under-used talent: Michelle Williams (of Dawson's Creek fame) is reduced to the stock character of the long-suffering friend; Jason Biggs is the long-suffering boyfriend; and Anne Heche is strangely cold and unlikeable as the (long-suffering?) therapist.
Anyone who has been looking forward to seeing the screen version of Wurtzel's remarkable novel should not expect a great deal of this film. It is disappointing and frustrating. There is little here to recommend it. Those coming to the book after seeing this ill-advised outing may well be discouraged not to read the orginal novel, which would be a mistake because it is exceptional and worth every minute of our time. Read it, don't watch.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book Was Rubbish Anyway, 24 Aug 2006
Prozac Nation was one of the most self-obsorbed, depressing and uninspiring books I have ever read. So why should the film be any better?
