Synopsis

Remember when you couldn't wait for your life to begin... and then, one day, it did?

Maureen Trant and her younger sibling Dani share a strong connection, but local boy Court Foster threatens to throw their bond off balance. Dani and Court meet first and have a flirtatious rapport -- but when he meets Maureen, he falls hard and they begin a passionate affair. The new couple try to keep their love hidden from Dani, but she soon learns the truth, disavowing her sister. But a heartbreaking accident later reunites the girls.

    Moral of the story: Don't ride around on a tractor after having great sex in a field. Just don't.

  • Review by Matt Singer ★★★★ 2

    You want to see a natural actor? Reese Witherspoon made this when she was 14 and had never been in anything before — and she still blew away every other person in the cast, including veterans like Sam Waterston. It’s not at all shocking that this woman went on to a huge career; this is one of the most impressive acting debuts I’ve ever seen.

  • Review by saturnino ★★★★ 7

    One of those films that makes small-town Americana seem both the only way worth living and the quintessential backdrop for tragedy.
