	Fort Worth Weekly Online -- fwweekly.com \| Arts \| Four-Finger Discount
		Romance writer Paul Sheldon (Michael Corolla) lay bedridden and barely coherent in a remote farmhouse, tended to by the stranger (Kristina Baker as Annie Wilkes) who'd dragged him out of his overturned car after an accident.
		Sensing he can take no more explanation, Wilkes moves gently to his bedside, puts a couple of painkillers at the edge of his pitifully open mouth...
		The interpretation was tipped in Kathy Bates' favor, and she gave an intelligent if flamboyant performance that said less about the bipolar nurse's character than about a superbly talented actor playing catch-up after a career too long stalled in small roles.

		Berg played Annie as annoyingly whiny when she was in a good mood; her moody, angry Annie was frighteningly convincing.
		A dead rat which Annie pulled out of her pocket, and which should have caused revulsion in the audience, caused chuckles instead because it was so obviously a plush toy.

	Apollo Movie Guide's Review of Misery
		Annie is an ex-nurse, and she goes about assisting Paul in his ‘rehabilitation’.
		Kathy Bates deservedly took home an Oscar for her performance as Annie, and James Caan is wonderful in what must have been a tough role to play, since he spends most of it covered with casts and lying in bed.

	Misery
		Annie Wilkes is King's best psycho and one of the most banally malevolent visions of evil ever depicted onscreen -- as played by the extraordinary Kathy Bates (Primary Colors, Titanic), she is a terror of frighteningly everyday proportions.

		Annie's anger simmers, and though the weather improves, Paul sees no sign of an ambulance or any means of contacting the outside world.

	[No title]
		Annie Wilkes introduces herself as a certified nurse and his “number one fan” and tells Paul that he has nothing to worry about.
		In the beginning, Annie is presented as a capable, caring, and devoted fan who is willing to help Paul get back on his feet and go back to his normal life but very soon it becomes apparent that her motives are not sensible.
		Annie displays a series of obsessive, delusional and dangerous behaviors through the course of several weeks that reveal her unstable troubled mind.

	Writerly Readers
		Annie just turns out to be his "number one fan"--an avid and active reader of Paul's romances.
		In the climactic sequence, Paul Sheldon burns the manuscript that Annie Wilkes had forced from him, and, with symbolic flair, gouges her writerly-readerly eyes out with his thumbs, smashes the typewriter into her face, and bashes her over the head with a rhinoceros statuette.
		Although the subsequent demonization of Annie (she is a pathological killer in guise of caregiver) may diminish for film viewers her readerly rights to coauthorship, the lesson should not be lost: reading and writing behaviors are much about pre-existing power relationships.
