Reviews for The Accused
Top CriticProvides a searing account of a gang rape through the story of two women who speak out against this violent crime
07/19/03
has a slightly torrid made-for-TV feel to it ..., but is elevated by the superb performances and genuinely empathetic stance its takes

In her first Oscar role, Jodie Foster plays Sarah Tobias, a fast-food waitress who's gang-raped ina roadside table. In the course of the film, she transforms from a good-time hard-drinking girl to a woman fighting for the self-esteem she never had.

Enough of a social commentary to make it worthwhile

Top CriticPossibly the best performance Foster has even given, and the best of its type

A atuação intensa e corajosa de Jodie Foster quase redime um filme que, graças à direção burocrática de Kaplan, parece ter sido realizado para a televisão.
01/13/04
A sobering and seriously well-acted tale of rape and retribution.
