==Plot==
{{Long plot|date=May 2025}}
It's 1935 in [[Waxahachie, Texas]], a small town during the [[Great Depression]]. One Sunday afternoon, the sheriff, Royce Spalding, goes to investigate gunshots at the rail yards. A cheerfully drunk black teenager, Wylie, is firing a revolver. He reaches an empty chamber and, thinking the gun is empty, he aims at the sheriff, killing him. Royce's body is brought home to his widow, Edna, and their children, Frank and Possum. A lynch mob drags Wylie's body behind their truck, stopping in front of the Spalding house. Later, Wylie's friends take his body down from where he was hanged in a tree. The two men are buried on the same day.

Edna must now raise her children alone. She is comforted by her sister, Margaret, who helps with the funeral. A drifter and handyman, a black man named Moses "Moze" Hadner appears at her door the night of the funeral, asking for work. He offers to plant cotton on her 30 acres, citing his experience. Edna feeds him and sends him on his way. The next morning, she finds him chopping wood in her yard. She makes him breakfast. Moze steals some silver spoons and goes.

The bank has a note on the family farm, and the price of cotton is plummeting. The local banker, Albert Denby, insists she needs to sell the farm.

When the police find Moze with her silver, they bring him back to confirm the theft, Edna says she has hired him and explains the spoons. The next day, Edna tells Denby she will not sell the farm. He is appalled that she is taking advice from a black man. Later, he visits the farm and forces her to take his brother-in-law, Will, blinded in [[World War I]], as a paid lodger.

Frank gets caught smoking at school. Edna is forced into yet another male role previously performed by her husband, as she must punish Frank. Edna gathers instructions from Frank as to the way she should spank him; she hesitates, then delivers the punishment while Will and Possum empathize from outside. Frank takes his spanking bravely, while Moze takes Possum outside after Frank runs to his room. Edna confides to Will that she will not do this again and that she dearly misses her husband.

Will is slow to warm up to Edna's children, but they eventually become close. He rescues her daughter, Possum, during a tornado that levels part of town but leaves the Spalding house standing.

Wayne Lomax, Edna's brother-in-law, has a fine time making love to married schoolteacher Viola Kelsey. The tornado is the last straw for Viola, who tells her husband they must move. Wayne admits the affair to Margaret. She says she won't forgive him this time.

Edna realizes she cannot make the next payment even if she sells all her cotton. She learns of an [[Ellis County, Texas|Ellis County]] contest: a $100 cash prize to the farmer who produces the first bale of cotton for the market each season. Edna realizes the prize money plus the proceeds from the sale of her cotton would be enough to save the farm. Moze helps her find the pickers they need to harvest the cotton on time.

Their efforts pay off. Edna and Moze find themselves first in line at the wholesaler with the season's first bale of cotton. Moze carefully coaches Edna on how to negotiate with the buyer, and as a result, he is unable to cheat her. Edna makes plans for the future. Moze is excited, but that night, he is assaulted by [[Ku Klux Klan]] members. Wielding Royce's gun, Will interrupts the savage beating. He recognizes all the assailants' voices and identifies them. They leave. Weeping, Moze realizes he must leave the farm or die. He gives Edna a handkerchief that belonged to his mother.

The film ends in a dreamlike scene evoking [[Communion of saints|Holy Communion]]. A choir sings in the modest church, where the pews are mostly empty. During a reading of [[1 Corinthians 13]], Margaret takes Wayne's hand. The congregation, after filling the pews, partakes in [[Protestant]] communion, passing the elements of the sacrifice to each other as the choir sings "[[In the Garden (1912 song)|In the Garden]]". The camera shows townspeople in the pews who were seen throughout the film, including a woman who died when the tornado overturned her car. Eventually, Moze is shown in the church, though he is long gone; the camera then shows Edna, who passes a communion tray to her dead husband, quietly saying "Peace of God"; with the same blessing, he hands it to Wylie, who shot him and was killed in revenge. After Wylie replies, "Peace of God", the camera lingers on the two men in contemplation as the hymn ends.

Regarding the unique ending, writer-director Robert Benton explained why he ended an otherwise realistic movie with a fantasy scene incorporating equality, grace and forgiveness, tenets of Christianity:

"There are certain things images can explain that words cannot. There is something in the image of the man who has been killed handing the communion plate to the boy who killed him that seems very moving to me in ways I cannot explain. I had the ending before I ever finished the screenplay, although I knew audiences would be confused by it."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/08/movies/how-endings-have-affected-two-recent-movies.html |title=How Endings Have Affected Two Recent Movies|work=[[New York Times]]|date=October 8, 1984|access-date=September 7, 2021}}</ref>

[[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote in his review: "[[Robert Benton]] has made one of the best films in years about growing up American." Canby called it "moving and often funny" and "a tonic, a revivifying experience right down to the final images", comparing it to Luis Buñuel's ''[[Tristana (film)|Tristana]]''".<ref name="Canby">{{cite news |url= https://www.nytimes.com/1984/09/21/movies/places-in-the-heart-benton-s-waxahachie-in-the-depression.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151002112434/http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=980CE0D8173BF932A1575AC0A962948260 |url-status=live |archive-date=October 2, 2015 |title=FILM: 'PLACES IN THE HEART,' BENTON'S WAXAHACHIE IN THE DEPRESSION |first=Vincent |last=Canby |author-link=Vincent Canby |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 21, 1984 |access-date=February 1, 2017 }}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] gave the film three of four stars, writing that 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."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/places-in-the-heart-1984 |title=Places in the Heart |first=Roger |last=Ebert |author-link=Roger Ebert |work=[[RogerEbert.com]] |publisher=Ebert Digital LLC |location=[[Chicago]] |date=January 1, 1984 |access-date=February 1, 2021 }}</ref>

===Accolades===
In 1985, when [[Sally Field]] accepted her second [[Academy Award for Best Actress]] (the first was for ''[[Norma Rae]]''), she uttered the memorable (and much-mocked) line "I can't deny the fact that you like me—''right now, you'' like me!" It is commonly misquoted as "You like me—you ''really'' like me!"{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

The February 2020 issue of ''[[New York Magazine]]'' lists ''Places in the Heart'' as among "The Best Movies That Lost Best Picture at the Oscars."<ref>{{cite news|title=The Best Movies That Lost Best Picture at the Oscars|url=https://www.vulture.com/article/best-oscar-best-picture-losers.html|magazine=[[New York Magazine]]|access-date=March 17, 2025}}</ref>
