There is no doubt that Kathy Bates' superb acting is the soul of this film. A large number of close-up shots and Kathy Bates's exaggerated and twisted facial expressions complement each other, and the sensitive and neurotic side of this extreme female book lover is vividly displayed. Superb acting skills, tight rhythm and excellent mise-en-scene make the game between writers and book fans in the film terrifying and unbearable.
In addition, the film's depiction of the delicate relationship between the writer and the fan is also worth pondering.

Misery quotes

  • Paul Sheldon: [holding a rolled-up page of his manuscript] Remember how for all those years, nobody knew who Misery's real father was, or if they'd ever be reunited? It's all right here. Does she finally marry Ian, or will it be Winthorne? It's all right here.

    [lights a match and with it, lights the page]

    Annie Wilkes: Paul you can't!

    [drops her glass]

    Paul Sheldon: [Still holding the burning page] Why not? I learned it from you.

    [Puts the burning page down onto his manuscript, already on the floor, burning it]

  • Virginia McCain: We got a phone call? Busy morning.

    Sheriff John T. 'Buster' McCain: Yeah. Work, work, work.
