Crimes Of The Heart | Year: 1986 Classification: Drama Country: USA Language: English Directed: - Bruce Beresford Actors/Actresses: - Sissy Spacek - Diane Keaton - Jessica Lange Sweet and Endearing This movie, to me, was truly wonderful. It pulls you in and makes you want to keep watching. The comedy is wonderful, as is the drama. Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange, and Sissy Spacek are wonderful as three sisters who are reunited because of something that happens. Sam Shepard has a wonderful supporting role as 'Doc'. All of the actors were terrific in this movie. If you like dramas and comedies mixed into one, then definitely rent or buy this movie. You won't regret it! Three Oscar winning actresses in the leading roles, a wonderful storyline, and a wonderful play-turned-into-a-movie. winning comedy Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek are great as the mismatched MaGrath sisters in the screen version of Beth Henley's play CRIMES OF THE HEART. Babe MaGrath Botrelle (Sissy Spacek) just shot her abusive husband, Lenny MaGrath (Diane Keaton) has never even had a man, and Meg MaGrath (Jessica Lange) can't hold one down. Yes, the MaGrath sisters have the Midas-touch when it comes to successful relationships - not! The film is a delightful vignette of sisterly life in the sleepy South, filled with gorgeous supporting characters like cousin Chick (Tess Harper) and Doc (Sam Shepard). The scene where Babe tries to hang herself is hilarious, as is the scene where Lenny chases Chick out of her "damn house" to the amusement of Babe. All in all, this oft-forgotten film is a rare little gem of a comedy, one that needs to be re-discovered. Endearing and Touching Movie Not only was this movie very true to the play, it was very well acted by three wonderful Oscar winning actresses. Diane Keaton plays Lenny, the oldest of the three, who seems to be the most sane sister of the three. Jessica Lange can't seem to keep a man. She just sort of jumps from one relationship to another and Sissy Spacek plays Babe, the youngest of the three, and she has just shot her husband, so she has a few problems there. Yet it is that that brings the three together again for a bittersweet reunion. Sam Shepard also shines as Doc Porter, a long time friend of the family. I would classify this movie as being a 'chick flick', but a very well done one at that! So if you like these actresses, I would highly recommend this movie to add to your collection.
