Been awhile since I've seen it, but I definitely enjoyed it. It didn't stray too far from the facts of the case, and I found the actors' performances believable. The RT top critics of the time (including Roger Ebert) also liked it, so I don't quite get the hate I'm seeing from many here in the audience reviews.

Ineffective because it never lets you get to know Hearst as a person.

Patty Hearst is a disappointing film. It is about Patricia Hearst, a rich girl who was abducted by American revolutionaries in the 1970s. Natasha Richardson and William Forsythe give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Paul Schrader did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

Impressive though sometimes weak docu-drama detailing the kidnapping of a very rich girl. What's also impressive is that in this film there is no attempt by authorities to find Patty Hearst, find her or liberate her.

Patricia Campbell Hearst (born February 20, 1954), now known as Patricia Campbell Hearst Shaw, is an American newspaper heiress, socialite, actress, kidnap victim, and convicted bank robber. Her kidnapping case is held by many as an example of Stockholm syndrome.

Instead, we see constant torture of her. The final insult is that she is shown assisting her captors rob banks, stores, etc. It's enough to make your blood boil, but eventually she was pardoned by President's Carter and Clinton. Shows it helps to know people!

The granddaughter of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, she gained notoriety in 1974 when she joined the Symbionese Liberation Army after they had kidnapped her.
Apprehended after having taken part in a bank heist with other SLA members, Hearst was imprisoned for almost two years before her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter. She was later granted a presidential pardon by President Bill Clinton in his last official act before leaving office.

NOTES:
1 While being booked into jail, she listed her occupation as "Urban Guerilla" and asked her attorney to relay the following message: "Tell everybody that I'm smiling, that I feel free and strong and I send my greetings and love to all the sisters and brothers out there."
However, according to Hearst interviewer Margaret Singer, a noted authority on prisoner of war and other victims including Maryknoll priests[8] released from the People's Republic of China in the 1950s, this is not unusual in such cases.
2 Hearst was convicted of bank robbery on March 20, 1976. She was sentenced to 35 years' imprisonment, but her sentence was later commuted to seven years. Her prison term was also eventually commuted by President Jimmy Carter, and Hearst was released from prison on February 1, 1979, having served 22 months. She was granted a full pardon by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001.
Personal life
After her release from prison, she married her former bodyguard, Bernard Shaw. She and Shaw have two children, Gillian and Lydia Hearst-Shaw, and reside in Garrison, New York. Hearst has occasionally granted interviews to national media regarding the SLA incidents and taken minor acting parts.

Poorly acted, its a struggle to watch. We dont care about Patty's plight or believe for a moment her captures are people not reading Schrader's (Kazan) words.

Minor Schrader ,but even minor Schrader is better than most directors will manange thier whole career.
Natasha Richardson is outstanding in the lead role as Heiress Patricia Heast a kidnap victim who becomes an urban guerilla after being kindnapped by a gang of terroists.
The SLA gang look like pros but by the end they are riven with arguments and cant decide what to do next.
Schrader is restricted by his budget as to what he can show ,but the scenes where Hearst is locked in a closet are some of the best in the film.
A bigger budget would have allowed Schrader to show the seige in which most of the gang are wiped out ,as it stands just seeing it in old footage softens the blow it must have caused the surviving gang memebers.
The final act reminds me of Light Sleeper ,The Walker and American Gigolo and while it lacks those films power ,its still an Interesting watch.
