  Places in the Heart - Synopsis - Moviefone
Of the three "mortgage on the farm" films of 1984 (Country and The River were the other two), Places in the Heart is the only one set during the Depression.
Throughout the film, director Robert Benton stresses the importance of solidarity in facing down disaster, underlining this point with a remarkable surrealistic finale, in which the "live" members of the cast are seen singing a hymn with the characters who have "died" in the course of the film.
Places in the Heart won Sally Field her second Academy Award.

 Places in the Heart (1984)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
"Places in the Heart" is one of the more under-rated films of the 1980s.
Somewhat based on director Robert Benton's experiences as a youth in Waxahachie, Texas, the film deals with one woman's (Sally Field in her second Oscar-winning performance) struggle to keep her land, house, and children after her husband is killed in a freak accident.
"Places in the Heart" benefits from great performances, but the direction and screenplay are also second-to-none.

Places in the Heart, whose very title is ominously sentimental, is the tribute of Robert Benton, the writer-director, to his ancestors and his home state of Texas.
Benton, a greatly overrated, basically mushy filmmaker given to mawkishness, as in Bonnie and Clyde, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Still of the Night, reaches a new height of soft-core non-pornography with Places in the Heart.
The heroine, Edna Spalding (Sally Field), is modeled on Benton's great-grandmother who, in a freak shooting in 1982, lost her sheriff husband.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Places in the Heart   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Harking back to dustbowl America in the 1930s, Places in the Heart is director/writer Robert Benton's tribute to the courageous men and women of the Depression era.
When Places in the Heart was released in 1984, it was a critical success — even garnering Field the Best Actress Oscar —; but it is the kind of film favorite that is filled with sentimentality rather than realism (think Driving Miss Daisy).
Benton — who is chasing after the look and feel of films from an earlier, more naïve time in American and cinema history — succeeds only in creating featherweight entertainment that puts a soft lens on a dark and troubling era.
