Given the praise for her performance, Ricci must be very frustrated, though, presumably on account of the clout wielded by Miramax, her few pronouncements about Prozac Nation's non-appearance have been couched in terms of a minor inconvenience. "It's upsetting," she said last year. "In some ways, you have to learn not to have an audience validate your work. But in some ways, you can't help it."
Wurtzel, predictably enough, isn't nearly as polite. "As you should have figured out by now, it's a horrible movie," she told the New York Times. "If they thought it was good, they'd have released it long ago." She went on, "But if it comes out and everyone thinks it's amazing, I'll say that it was amazing."
Her feelings are underlined by the fact that when Wurtzel first saw the film, she reportedly wept. After all those futile weeks spent chasing a woman who once described herself as "a pain in the ass but also fun," I know the feeling.
