Leave your thoughts about I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is difficult material to bring to life, but a young actress named Kathleen Quinlan does it with heart and sensitivity. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergAn autobiographical tale of attempted suicide, horrific schizophrenia, and frequent trips to a rather unpleasant mental hospital. |
| User ReviewEliza DVery well acted, truly disturbing. A classic! |
| User ReviewCharlene FLong time since I saw this and would like to see again. Don't remember much about it. |
| User ReviewAj VA beautiful, crazy, dramatic film, and I really loved it. |
| User ReviewScott WSeriously moving. A great and important movie. Watch it. Women will love it but it is NOT a chick flick at all. |
| User ReviewNicole iThis movie was great. I'm glad I watched it. |
| User ReviewHarlene QSaw this movie when I was 19, didn't really know much about mental illness and institutions, it haunted me for a long time |
| User ReviewSteve SI love movies set in mental institutions, and this really showed the tragic intricacies of mental illness. Really really well done. |
| User ReviewLee MGood intentions and sensationalism compete for viewer interest in this filmization of Hanna Green's novel about the tentative recovery of a psychotic young woman. |
