Review of Places in the Heart (1984) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 19 Jan 2013
[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.
