Review of Patty Hearst (1988) by Hal Hinson for Washington Post — 21 Feb 2007
Though the movie suggests that Hearst was brainwashed -- or at least coerced through fear to act as she did -- it maintains a safe distance from any definitive position. In the end, we have not come any closer to an understanding of Patty Hearst.
But ambiguity, in this case, isn't an indication of complexity; it's a refuge. It's an admission of failure.
