Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)
Still, The Accused has two inspiring performances and an even more inspiring moral backbone to push it over these obstacles of presentation and script missteps. I am still not convinced that I would have voted Foster her Oscar over Glenn ...read the complete Accused movie review at Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)

She won the Oscar, and launched her ...read the complete Accused movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
`The Accused" demonstrates that rape victims often are suspects in their own cases. Surely they must have been somehow to blame. How were they behaving at the time of the crime? How were ...read the complete Accused movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Deseret News, Salt Lake City
A sincere and well-intentioned exploration of the crime of rape in America, and a serious-minded look at how the legal system often treats the victim as badly as the criminal, "The Accused" is, most of the way, compelling and chilling in its ...read the complete Accused movie review at Deseret News, Salt Lake City

DVD Talk (D.K. Holm)
The Accused is a well-meaning docu-drama that isn't as powerful as the material suggests it could have been. Zero extras make this a less appealing item for collectors. ...read the complete Accused movie review at DVD Talk (D.K. Holm)
