The true story of Toni Jo Henry, a woman tried for the crime of murder in 1942 in the state of Louisiana. Toni Jo, a product of childhood abuse and neglect, briefly discovers love and happiness that soon turns to despair when her husband Cowboy is sent to prison and she embarks on an ill-fated plan with an accomplice Arkie to free him.
#SIFF# 临时加片，出乎意料的惊喜。真实事件改编，第一位坐上电椅的女性。整体完成度相当高，情绪酝酿随着庭审深入，直至终审判决到行刑爆发，节奏拿捏得很细腻，女主角和JH的表演也值得称赞。宗教救赎部分很反感，因为根本没有拯救，只是临终不致崩溃的自欺欺人的信仰，现世依旧荒凉冷漠。

本以为是法庭片，结果是传教片，神烦＝＝
