If you loved Places in the Heart, try Kramer vs. Kramer
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Robert Benton, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Places in the Heart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kramer vs. Kramer is
New York City apartment, morning chaos, coffee brewing. A briefcase lies abandoned, a wife walks out, a young son clings to his father. This domestic drama lands best on a quiet Sunday morning.
