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.

Prozac Nation Ratings & Reviews

  • cultfilmlikerOctober 5, 2025
    Team Sertraline “Also Starring Lou Reed” ??? Big Melancholia vibes obviously Loved the fragmented editing! Christina Ricci shows me her Joy Division poster and I’m collapsing immediately WAYYY too relatable of a film. Applies to both me and the ex I was with when I / we went through the same mental crises. All that said, i liked it a whole lot more than my rating represents. Has some faults but is exceptional at what it does. My feelings on children and “hope” are very complicated! (Ngl I think I have to rewatch this ASAP it might actually be a 5/5)
