CRAZY HEART - (15)
2009 - 111 min  USA  
Jeff Bridges has been a star and first-rate actor for almost forty years, and he never gives a bad performance. In Crazy Heart, he excels as an aging, boozy, self-destructive singer/songwriter who still manages to stumble on stage and delight the dwindling crowds. Then he meets reporter Maggie Gyllenhaal, and a sparky encounter hints at a relationship and stability he has rarely known - if he can conquer his demons. This classic story of redemption is told with a heartrending simplicity that stretches from the striking cinematography to the soulful music by the late Stephen Bruton and T Bone Burnett (O Brother, Where Art Thou?). But even with a strong supporting cast, it is Bridges who makes this special.  
Directed by: Scott Cooper  
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gylenhaal, Robert Duvall, Colin Farrell
