Featured review
College student Patricia Hearst (Natasha Richardson) is a well-meaning rich girl who gets kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Their leader Cinque (Ving Rhames) intends on ransoming the heiress for the release of their imprisoned comrades. Eventually, she joins them in their revolutionary activities.
This is director Paul Schrader and this is Natasha Richardson. She is giving a full performance of this complicated, debated, and conflicted character. It lands squarely on her assertion of innocence. That may be disputed but it's well within reason and the movie presents a reasonable case. She feared for her life and submitted to survive. There are also a few familiar faces and Ving Rhames is as powerful as ever. This is good and Natasha is great.
