The Accused (1988)

From Net Flix:

Jodie Foster won an Oscar for her portrayal of Sarah Tobias in
this fact-based drama. After being raped by three men in a local
bar, Sarah, enraged at the light sentence her attackers receive,
persuades attorney Kathryn Murphy (Kelly McGillis) to press
charges against the men who cheered on the attack. But it won’t be
easy: Sarah has a shady past that could be used against her in court.

This is a VIOLENT film. Towards the end there is an ugly gang-rape scene. But Jodie Foster’s facial expressions alone are worth the entire film. It’s probably the best Jodie Foster film I have seen.
