A one-woman show - wonderful performance by a brilliant Bates.

Very suspenseful. I would have liked it infinitely better without the cranky, fucked-up-adult daughter stealing all the otherwise good scenes. Bates was brilliant!

Good characterizations and a standout performance by Bates. I also liked some of the editing choices. But as more and more story secrets were revealed, I found myself less and less interested. By the end it all seemed obvious and routine, with the last ten minutes playing out like a makeshift and cliched courtroom drama.

Kathy Bates may have won the oscar for "Misery," but her performance in this film is easily her best work. The rest of the oscar caliber cast is equally good, which by itself makes this one of the best films of the 90s.

Bates is an unlikely leading actress that doesn't have the stunning looks to propel her forward like so many of her colleagues so i always feel her stardom is really based on her merit and it shows, again. She's such a joy to watch, even if Kings quirky-idiom-foulmouthing feels a bit geriatric at times. Movie could have been 45m shorter as there's some sand in the gears in the end when police and courtroom tropes are sought to reach closure to an otherwise very good story, one of Kings best
