- Synopsis
- Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning best-selling novel, "A Thousand Acres" follows the saga of the Cook family, headed by the indomitable patriarch, Larry Cook (JASON ROBARDS). Cook's kingdom is a fertile farm that spans 1,000 acres, but the seeds of its destruction are sown when he impulsively decides to distribute it among his three daughters, Ginny (JESSICA LANGE), Rose (MICHELLE PFEIFFER) and Caroline (JENNIFER JASON LEIGH). The apportioned land soon begins to divide the family. Long-guarded secrets, unspoken rivalries and denied desires, buried just beneath the surface of their respective lives, are unwillingly unearthed, with profound, catastrophic and ultimately liberating repercussions.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"From the first frame, a silhouetted barn and windmill at dawn, the images feel prefab"
-
"Owing more to the spirit of Oprah than to the Bard, pic serves up an earnest but unconvincing stew of received notions about family dysfunction"
-
"The story is just an empty, manipulative compilation of tragedies and misunderstandings."
-
"It's a mess, though one inevitably worth seeing by curious readers or fans of the cast"
-
"Sadly for all involved, A Thousand Acres is doomed to the label 'interesting'"
