This is the one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. If I didn't know better, I would say the author knows me and two of my sisters. In fact, I am sending each of my sisters this DVD for Christmas. (I have searched for years for this movie. The rental movie places do not carry it which is such a shame. Diane Keaton is one of my favorite actresses. Gosh, amazing talent in this movie. The lemonade scene is so much like my sister!!!!! I would recommend this movie to anyone. This movie will never be outdated!!!!!!!!! GPC Panama City Beach, Fl

I saw this movie on tv in the late 80's and it's always stayed with me. I now on it and watch it from time to time. the best thing about this movie is of course the actors! all 3 woman are amazing and some really good supporting roles as well. it has some pretty touching subjects in the film. dealing with death, abuse and an interacial love afair. so if you want a movie that has some pretty darn funny stuff in it thats also touching with some damn good performances then watch this movie!

`Crimes of the heart' is a wonderful movie based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by Beth Henley.
The story is about three sisters, Lenny (Diane Keaton), Meg (Jessica Lange), and Becky (Sissy Spacek), who reunite together after a long time when Babe (Becky) shoots her husband. Due to the fact that their mother committed suicide when they were young, the three girls have completely different personalities from each other. Lenny, the oldest, is a reticent woman having problems with relationships because she thinks low of herself due of her medical problems. Meg, the middle sister, leaves the family at a young age to pursue a career in Hollywood, only to end up in failure. Babe, the youngest sister, shoots her husband because of the abuse and loneliness through the years. As the days pass, the three sisters come closer again and face each other's difficulties.
This was a delightful movie to watch, due to many reasons. Firstly, the entire cast acted wonderfully. When you see names like Sissy Spacek, Diane Keaton and Jessica Lange, you know you are going to see powerful performances of the characters in the movie. They all acted faultlessly in their own way according to their roles. Secondly, Bruce Beresford did a great job in brining Beth Henley's award-winning play to the screen. Furthermore, the background music also added well to the movie.
I wouldn't recommend this movie to everyone, but if you enjoy watching dark-comedy movies, then you will like this one.

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.

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.
