Average Rating: 
Rating:  - This is my family's story too
This should be part of American history courses. The acting is incredible - no surprise given the actors. Incredibly realistic, I was teary thinking about how this very thing happened to my family, and so many other neighbors, too. And the music. I wish the soundtrack was still available.
Rating: - Great, realistic movie
This is a very realistic, interesting movie about farming. I am a farmer so I thoroughly enjoyed this. I recommend it to any farmer who knows hard times.
Rating:  - country
A good movie that shows the hard times farmers have Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard were good actors and this is a movie for all farmers to see.
Rating:  - and for THIS you gave up baryshnikov???
there were three of these movies all at the same time; "places in the heart" and "the river" were the other two. this is the one with jessica lange, instead of the one with sally field or the one with sissy spacek. if you liked one of the other two, you will like this one.
Rating: - Life On The Farm
This movie depicted what happened to so many farmers in the 1980's when interest rates went so high that it was impossible to survive if there was any debt against what you owned. Jessica Lange of course, was brilliant as the all-suffering farm wife and Sam Shepard as the husband who could not accept that there was no support from "the bank". It is the heart-warming, but flawed depiction of a family coming together in the hard times to save their way of life.
