Review of Misery (1990) by Vincent Canby for The New York Times — 14 Jun 2017
It seems to want to be a Hitchcockian kind of cat-and-mouse suspense melodrama, which demands a lot more ingenuity than Mr. Reiner or Mr. Goldman ever muster. Misery is just good enough that one wishes it were far better.
The ideas are there, but they become lost in the heavy-handed treatment.
