Places in the Heart (1984) dir. Robert Benton
#places in the heart#their eye acting in this was so 😵💫#overall thought the last ~30 minutes was pretty incongruent and then i saw on afi that it was originally a 260 page screenplay w 15 drafts#well. sdhjsk. anyways free viola school walkout monday!#also pauline kael's review calling amy's performance the most persuasive and the only person she wanted more of sooo real#“she has a passionate delicacy... her precisely modeled tiny features and dark wavy hair suggests a major presence” exactlyy#“her guilt takes the form of making her recoil just a trace from all human contact- she looks as if she's withdrawing into herself” yayyyyy#also yay venetian blind imprisonment shadows give it up for venetian blind imprisonment shadows#amy madigan#ed harris
