The self-centered brat at the center of Prozac Nation spends most of her time making life miserable for everyone around her, but there's little reason the public should have to pay for the same privilege.

Liz (Christina Ricci)... Based on the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Wurtzel, PROZAC NATION tells the true story of Wurtzel's own difficulties with severe depression during her first year at college. Liz (Christina Ricci) is a gifted writer whose talent earns her a scholarship to Harvard University. Escaping from the controlling arms of her mother (Jessica Lange), Liz's delicate mental state is tested by the stress of being away from home at a challenging institution. Finding refuge in drugs and sex, she views herself with increasing criticism, eventually unable to work on her writing at all. A character study with a loose narrative that explores the seriousness of depression, PROZAC NATION was directed by Erik Skjoldbjaerg (INSOMNIA). [More]

Reviews for Prozac Nation
Ninety-eight minutes of this movie and you may find yourself reaching for Prozac or the antidepressant of your choice. A cheap shot, to be sure, but the movie earns it.
Truly depressing, a dark, mean and screechy film that still looks half-finished after years on the shelf.
In portraying Elizabeth Wurtzel, Ricci displays range, depth, and courage.
[Ricci's] performance as a Harvard undergrad battling clinical depression compels your attention every moment she is on screen.
