Cathy Bates plays a middle-aged house nurse accused of murdering the
elderly woman in her care. On the surface, all the evidence points
to her guilt. The detective investigating the case really wants to
nail her, because he failed to convict her many years ago when her
husband mysteriously died. Her daughter is drawn in, and has to deal
with seeing her mother, who she's avoided for many years. Overall, the
movie is a psychodrama, with little real action, suspense, or mystery.
The pacing is barely enough to keep you in your seat, but the story
is slightly intriguing. If you're into psychodramas, check it out,
otherwise pass.
