The film was released in both conventional and IMAX theatres in the US at midnight on March 25, 2011.
In the 1960s, a 20-year-old woman nicknamed "Babydoll" (Emily Browning), is institutionalized by her abusive stepfather (Gerard Plunkett) at the Lennox House for the Mentally Insane in Brattleboro, Vermont after she is blamed for the death of her younger sister. Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac), one of the asylum's orderlies, is bribed by Babydoll's stepfather into forging the signature of the asylum's psychiatrist, Dr. Vera Gorski (Carla Gugino), to have Babydoll lobotomized, so she can neither inform the authorities of the true circumstances leading to her sister's death, nor reclaim her recently deceased mother's fortune.

Personally I found this movie delightful. The photography was some of the best I've ever seen, the music matched perfectly to the action sequences and the special effects were sublime. A wonderful surprise.
