The premise, good for a thriller, prevented mediocrity and made the movie effective, attention-grabbing, suspenseful and emotionally involving. The writing was vapid & murky, it bottomed out with the artificial details dotting the scenario, but the direction was vigorous and adequate, if scattershot. As to Sissy Spacek, she confirmed her proficiency to be also shown in Carrie - Prime Cut - Badlands - Coal Miners Daughter - Crimes of the Heart - Missing - Old Man & the Gun - - Affliction - Raggedy Man - Three Women - The River - In the Bedroom - An American Haunting - JFK - Castle Rock - and even Bloodline.

Trivia
Fred Dalton Thompson was actually Marie Ragghianti's real life lawyer for her suit against Governor Blanton and the director was so impressed with him during interviews that they asked him to take the role which he did.

Goofs
The song playing in the nightclub a day or two after her son chokes on the pistachio, is "Honey Honey" by ABBA. That song wasn't recorded until January of 1974, and the screen had previously just read that it was 1973, moments earlier.
