Product Description:
A YOUNG WOMAN STRUGGLES WITH DEPRESSION DURING HER FIRST YEAR AT HARVARD. BASED ON ELIZBETH WURTZEL'S NOVEL.
Amazon.com:
Fans of Christina Ricci will note that the saucer-eyed actress takes a big leap from deadpan-child and grumpy-ingenue roles with Prozac Nation, an adaptation of Elizabeth Wurtzel's bestselling book. Ricci puts her all into playing Lizzie, a self-absorbed Ivy League writer wannabe who alienates friends and family with her out-of-control mood swings and other chemical imbalances. Ricci is committed and convincing, but nothing she does ameliorates Lizzie's exasperating personality; spending 90 minutes around this person is an eternity of tantrums. Around to provide audience stand-ins are Jason Biggs, Michelle Williams, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, all of whom disapprove of Lizzie's self-destructive behavior. Jessica Lange, professional as always, is Lizzie's brittle mother. If the movie really did capture the sense of the zeitgeist suggested by its grandiose title, or if it carried some intriguing stylistic urgency that carried us into its depressive labyrinth, perhaps Lizzie's journey would be palatable. But the long delay between Prozac Nation's shooting (in 2001) and its emergence on cable-TV and DVD is all too easy to understand. --Robert Horton

In the real world of art Elizabeth Wurtzel is the sexy drama queen every guy wants to do, but no guy wants to wake up next to. Her on-screen portrayer, Christina Ricci, is the ugly artsy wannabe girl that desperately wants every and any guy, but no guy will touch her. That's why, in Prozac Nation, the unreleased 2001 film of Wurtzel's 1990s bestseller book of the same name, there are immediate problems. Ok, the problems start before the miscast of Ricci, who has the emotional range of a thimble- ... Read More

I picked up this movie from a discount bin because it had a picture of Christina Richie on it. She has always intrigued me. I was stunned to find a movie of substance and deep emotional material.
Late the other night, I was tired, but not enough to sleep, so I popped Prozac Nation into my DVD player and watched. I wondered, why didn't I know more about this movie which had such talented actors in it? As the movie progressed I was amazed at the quality in acting, the beautiful cinematography, ... Read More

A decent film about a young woman's battle with Mental illness. I would guess though that the book was better. The ending of this seemed rushed. Unfortunatley, the movies seemed choppy, melodramatic, and just kinda blah. Worth watching, kinda interesting for a person that works in the field.

I really liked the book version of Prozac Nation. It is a hard read in places, parts of it seem like the author wrote them on speed, the protagonist is also the antagonist, it drags a bit in places... but it perfectly captures the zietgiest, it is so baldly, terribly honest that it makes you flinch, and by the end, after you have been through ten years of depression, therapy, and bad behavior with Lizzie, you are just relieved that the Prozac worked. That is a huge element that I think most people take ... Read More

Prozac Nation is a film with a history more checkered than even its protagonist. There were numerous reedits and problems with distrubution. Despite respectable stars in Christina Ricci, Jason Biggs (American Pie), Anne Heche and Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain), it premiered on the Starz channel and then went straight to video. The troubled teen girl genre was probably overdone in the 90s, raising the standard for any new films that delve into the still unsettling issues of female promiscuity, drug ... Read More
