Crimes of the Heart (PG-13) 4.5

Crimes of the Heart (1986): Three sisters with quite different personalities and lives reunite when the youngest of them, Babe, has just shot her husband. (6.3)

Director: Bruce Beresford
Stars: Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek

Three big names in the lead roles, but acting is bad in that they try to do the southern-ness a bit over the top. The giddy interactions between the sisters is a bit unreal too. Then again, what do I know about either of those! The story is good, but it lacks any and all emotional punch in delivery. Great potential and opportunity lost. Meh. My Rating: 4.5
