Movie Reviews of The Burning Bed
Movie Review: great tribute to Farrah's feminist fight
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this movie many years ago and just watched it again after hearing of Farrah's death from cancer. This has proved that Farrah is more than a sex symbol but a real woman with feelings and plenty of strength. This movie has brought out the issue of domestic violence in the open. It often takes a famous person to bring out important issues into the limelight. She has portrayed a domestic violence victim very well in this movie. It's great that she chose to act in this movie to show how much she cares about women's issues.
RIP Farrah, you'll always be remembered as a fighter. You have portrayed your role as a fighter very well in this movie.
Movie Review: Claustrophobic
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD runs about 95 minutes and along with English also contains a Spanish audio track as well as subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. I felt claustrophobic while watching this movie, but obviously that was the intent of this story. A wife who could not escape the death-grip of her controlling and violent husband.
While the husband is a sick-bastard, Francine(Fawcett) does make some bad choices that help continue her trauma. Since this movie was made in the mid-80's, there are some familiar faces that you usually see popping up in made-for-tv movies from the late-70's till the mid-80's. Good but depressing movie.
Movie Review: Buy this DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to agree with some of the other reviews, the movie doesn't cover half of the abuse she actually went through. I still think this is an excellent movie and I am glad that I watched it. I saw this movie a few years ago and read the book about a year ago. The book blew me away, there were several horrific parts that should have been added to the movie to really tell the true story, its shocking. The message still gets out there with the movie and gives you a small peak into what she went through. I reccomend watching this dvd and reading the book.Movie Review: Gripping and real
Summary: 4 Stars
It isn't often that I stay up until midnight watching a movie on TV, but this movie had me hooked. It is so easy to wonder why a woman doesn't leave, yet watching Fawcett you understand the social pressures to stay, and the game that is continually played. An excellent movie, one that has no surprise ending just takes you through the journey that is almost visible from the start. Despite that you can't stop watching, it is filled with raw, human emotions.Movie Review: Great Tool in Teaching Domestic Violence Unit
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this video as a companion to a domestic violence mock trial done during my Psychology class' Psychology and the Law unit. The Francine Hughes case was a landmark decision in the use of Battered Women's Syndrome in the courtroom and there is much supporting written material to accompany it.
Good portayals without being overly graphic or profane - suitable for classroom use.
