great performance of compelling character
It’s 1935 Waxahachie, Texas. Edna Spalding (Sally Field) loses her sheriff husband after a negro boy accidentally shots him. The locals lynch the boy. Edna doesn’t deal with the financials and is in danger of losing the farm. Banker Mr. Denby is eager for her to sell. He unloads his blind, bitter brother-in-law Will (John Malkovich) on her as a boarder. Drifter Moze (Danny Glover) comes looking for work. He steals her silver spoons and gets caught. She lets him work on her farm growing cotton. Her sister Margaret Lomax (Lindsay Crouse) is struggling to survive but her husband Wayne (Ed Harris) is secretly cheating with school teacher Viola Kelsey (Amy Madigan).Sally Field does a brilliant job playing this compelling character. She starts off lost and grow to be a driven dynamo. The only minor problem is the affair between Wayne and Vi. They’re not really connected to Edna and is nothing more than a distraction. Edna, Will and Moze are the central character. The story needs to concentrate on the trio’s relationship. Despite this minor problem, this is a great movie.
