Watch: Prozac Nation 2001 123movies, Full Movie Online – Christina Ricci stars as Lizzie, a prize-winning student heading off to Harvard where she intends to study journalism and launch a career as a rock music critic. However, Elizabeth’s fractured family situation including an errant father (Nicholas Campbell) and a neurotic, bitterly hypercritical mother (Jessica Lange) has led to a struggle with depression. When her all-night, drug-fueled writing binges and emotional instability alienate her roommate and best friend, Ruby (Michelle Williams), as well as both her first (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) and second (Jason Biggs) boyfriends, Lizzie seeks psychiatric counseling from Dr. Diana Sterling (Anne Heche), who prescribes the wonder drug Prozac. Despite success as a writer that includes a gig writing for Rolling Stone and some mellowing out thanks to her medication, Lizzie begins to feel that the pills are running her life and faces some tough choices about her future..
Plot: When talented young writer Elizabeth Wurtzel earns a scholarship to Harvard, she sees it as her chance to escape the pressures of her working-class background and concentrate on her true talent. But what starts out so promising leads to self-destructive behavior and paralyzing depression that reflects an entire generation’s struggle to navigate the effects of divorce, drugs, sex, and high expectations.

Great performance by Ricci
I really really really want to see Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan, but I was embarrassed to go buy a ticket for that movie, so I watched this instead. I probably saw more of Christina that I would have seen in the other movie anyway.I have to say that she was really incredible and entirely believable as someone who is going through depression, and trying to get off the pills, but finally coming to the realization that you will probably never get rid of them totally. Anyone who sees this movie should have some idea of what depressed people go through. The self-doubts and the irrational reactions to simple things and the suicidal ideation are just three items they have to deal with.
I also liked Jessica Lange as her mom. A totally great followup to her performance in Blue Sky. And, hey, I haven’t seen Michelle Williams since Brokeback Mountain. Great job as the roommate. Didn’t care at all for the rest of the cast. Watching pie-boy doesn’t interest me.
I would totally be back in therapy for the long haul if Anne Heche was my therapist. I can see some major transference issues here.
