Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Renee SchonfeldInspiring, intense tale about hardship, bigotry, redemption.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonEven in a year that included the formidable likes of Amadeus, Stop Making Sense and The Terminator, this was the best picture of 1984.
MovieMartyr.com - 9/10 by Jeremy HeilmanPlaces definitely feels manipulative and sometimes even shameless, but cheap isn't a word that applies here.
The Associated Press - 9/10 by Bob ThomasRobert Benton has made one of the best films in years about growing up American.
Time Out - 8/10 by Chris PeachmentMuch is unemphatic, but all of it carries the moving weight of conviction. And it ends on a healing grace-note which passeth all understanding.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittSentimental from the moment the title hits the screen. But it's a nice kind of sentimentality, based on real affection for the characters and real involvement with a place and time.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger Ebert[Benton's] memories provide the material for a wonderful movie, and he has made it, but unfortunately he hasn't stopped at that. He has gone on to include too much. He tells a central story of great power, and then keeps leaving it to catch us up with minor characters we never care about.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Megan RosenfeldFlawlessly crafted, Benton creates a full tapestry of life in Waxahachie, Texas circa 1935, but filmgoers may find his understated naturalistic approach lacking in dramatic punch.
Variety - 7/10 by Variety StaffPlaces in the Heart is a loving, reflective homage to his hometown by writer-director Robert Benton.
The New Yorker - 6/10 by Pauline KaelThere's nothing but sheer manipulativeness holding this picture together.
