Robbins plays a guy who protected Foster before, but who is volunteering to go south to help the rights of blacks in the south, being inspired by Martin Luther King (this being a period drama). Foster also has a boyfriend who was crippled by Turturro when she was attacked.
Turturro has a weird gift for Foster, and there's a teacher who inexplicably gets shot by an arrow. Meanwhile, there's a pair of guys who are paid to look after two glue-sniffing. And there's a pair of cops and so on...
A strange drama with moments of comedy that don't really fit in comfortably. Seems more like an awkward play awkwardly made into a film.
In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:

and a sense of humor. the cast is superb. Robbins, Foster and
Turturro give hints as to what they would go on to accomplish as
their careers grew. Todd Graff is also awesome but seems to be
having better luck as a screenwriter and producer. The two
females who play the glue sniffers are hilarious in roles that could
have easily be unsympathetic. The two mothers (Chalfant and
Gregorios) carry their weight in smaller but no less significant
roles. The two cops are straight out of the old crime dramas of the
1940's and 50's. There is also a good sense of 'place' in the film. I
got a genuine feel for the neighborhood where these characters
dwelt. I have also had the pleasure of being directed by Tony Bill in
a made for T.V. movie, A Chance of Snow. He's a professional. I
wish that he'd do more along the lines of Five Corners.
The only other thing I have to say is that the score of this movie is one of the worst I've ever heard. I hadn't heard of composer James Newton Howard when I saw this, so I'm amazed he went on to respectable and (to my remembrance) perfectly well-scored films like "Pretty Woman", "My Girl", "Glengarry Glen Ross", "The Sixth Sense", and "Dinosaur".
His score in this film is so melodramatic, so overstated, so overly "hit-happy" (in the sense of hitting marks), and so cheesily realized, I'm amazed Howard wasn't relegated to scoring cheeseball B-flicks.
