This is difficult material to bring to life, but a young actress named Kathleen Quinlan does it with heart and sensitivity.

An autobiographical tale of attempted suicide, horrific schizophrenia, and frequent trips to a rather unpleasant mental hospital.

A beautiful, crazy, dramatic film, and I really loved it.

½

The female version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, except more patient on the couch exploring her issues with a nicer female doctor scenes. Roger Corman produced this psychological illness drama.
