Editorial Reviews

Girl, Interrupted, the movie adaptation of Susanna Kaysen's memoir of being forced into a psychiatric institute, faces the challenge that all films set in the '60s must overcome: How do you create a memorable soundtrack that isn't filled with the same "greatest hits" that we hear on the radio (or any number of mediocre compilations)? Thankfully, Girl does have some eclectic moments: The Mama's & the Papa's "Got a Feelin'" isn't a tune we hear everyday, the reflective Jefferson Airplane song "Comin' Back to Me" fits the movie nicely, and Wilco's "How to Fight Loneliness"--though written 30 years after the film's events take place--is a welcome modern touch. Of course, we get overplayed classic rock, too--Merrilee Rush & the Turnabouts' "Angel of the Morning," the Band's "The Weight," and Them's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." But for soundtrack buffs, the real treasures are at the end. Mychael Danna--best known for his ongoing collaboration with director Atom Egoyan--delivers 18 of his most-accessible-to-date (though still rather dark and ambient) score tracks. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I can never hear these songs without remembering the movie..........2006-08-26

Especially "The End of the World" by Skeeter Davis. A few weeks ago, I was in a store where it was playing, which is weird because I rarely hear that song. But all I could think of was Susanna walking upstairs to find Daisy, who had hanged herself in the bathroom.

Also love "Downtown" (I ended up buying a long fur coat similar to Lisa's) and "It's all over now, Baby Blue."

Great mix of classic 60s songs plus the Wilco one and instrumentals. Highly recommended if you love the movie.

5 out of 5 stars End of the world.......2006-07-10

The song playing in the scene where brittany murphy kills herself, is skeeter davis**The end of the world. Its very beautifull.

5 out of 5 stars Brittany Murphey's Death.......2005-09-20

The song that plays when Brittany Murphey hangs herself is called "The End of the World" By Expose.

4 out of 5 stars Good Disc.......2005-08-07

Girl, Interrupted is a great movie, and this soundtrack is a wonderful addition to my collection. The first half of the disk contains the popular songs that were used within the movie, and the second half -- the better half in my opinion -- contains instrumental music by Mychael Danna. Listening reminded me how powerful the music was to the picture, and how powerful the story was.

5 out of 5 stars missing song found!.......2004-07-02

Im so happy a reviwer found out the name of the song at the begining of the movie "bookends" thanks, i love that song also the songs in the sountrack are great from "how to fight the loneliness" to "end of the world" which are my favorites out of the album the score is great i totally recomend it.
