Farrah Fawcett's performance in "The Burning Bed" (1984)

I heard about this film a lot growing up because my mother liked it (she grew up in a very similar situation with an extremely abusive father and related), but I never watched it. I finally checked it off my list over the weekend and was very impressed. It is not a perfect film, but Farrah's acting is very nuanced and believable. There are scenes throughout that still feel raw and disturbing even by today's standards. It seems the film was a sensation when it was first released. Do we think it's (possibly) Farrah's best work?

Smiling and flinging her hair around was her best performance.
