Trivia
In 2012, while presenting the Academy Award for Best Actress, Colin Firth made reference (though not by title) to this movie while announcing Michelle Williams' nomination. Firth and Williams both had roles in A Thousand Acres; Williams was sixteen years old at the time (in his introduction, Firth misremembered her age as twelve).
Quotes
Ginny:
You think this is bad, Daddy? You'd be amazed at what you really deserve. As far as I'm concerned, you're on your own now.
Goofs
The film is set in Iowa but there is a State of Illinois certification sticker on the church kitchen-window frame.
