Jeff Bridges gives an excellent performance, but Crazy Heart feels a LOT longer than it actually is. The story drags along and only Bridges and the authentic-sounding songs keep it alive. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

Thomas A very successful film adapted from COBB's novel. Jeff bridges is now rock bottom, playing a famous country singer for a while. A four-year-old child who appears to be in love with the sign that life is waiting to change and change.I had heard this issue before seeing the film in Istanbul, and frankly it was a little ordinary to me when I looked at it. But choosing the film was more effective than the Jeff bridges in the mix. The man is still very good, as always, and the golden sphere that he has received deserves it to the end. He plays a very challenging role as a child's playboy, and the songs we have listened to throughout the film are like the Collin Farrell, which he says directly, and in this, we can call it an up version of the character big Lebesgue, it reminded. For example, the first sensation is the drop-off stage of the loo ...I will not go on to mention the story of Colin Farrell, Filmin is definitely a weak link himself. I have heard criticism of bad actors about him for years, but this prejudice has never occurred and I can see clearly that the phone booth filming is very fond of me, but plays a relatively simple role, except for the parts he says in this movie.In fact, it has come very successfully from a very high risk of being overly sensitive to the viewer's detachment from the film. Maggie gallantly is the best assistant actress in this film, as it is in the previous films, especially stranger than fiction, although she is not the only one who is the only Oscar nominee for film in, Ryan Bingham in the role of the lead singer of the band who accompanied the bad Blake in the bowling alley in the film was also nominated for the best film music for the best film music with the weary kind name piece written for the film at the end.A movie full of natural, beautiful and music that needs to be watched.

A faded country music musician (Jeff Bridges) is forced to reassess his dysfunctional life during a doomed romance that also inspires him.Jeff Bridges has had a really good career. Some highs, some lows. But even the lows are better than most actors' lows. Can you think of a bad movie he was in? Now, did he deserve Best Actor for this picture? Maybe not. But it did allow him to showcase a bit of his depth and breadth, as well as his musical ability.For pure entertainment, this is certainly no "Big Lebowski" or "Tron", and will probably not go down in history as one of the films Bridges is remembered for (despite the Oscar).

Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges) is a drunk broke country singer whose best days are in the past. Jean Craddock (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a journalist doing an in-depth piece on the old legend. They open up to each other and start a relationship. He tries to get his life together. He talks to star Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell) who was once his mentors. Everybody wants him to write new songs but he hasn't written anything in three years.This movie is simply living off of Jeff Bridges' natural performance. He is absolutely perfect for this role. He is touching and compelling. Gyllenhaal is good. Colin Farrell surprises with a great cameo. Their scene together is so wonderful. The story is rather thin and moves at a leisurely pace. There is a lot of country music. It's an easy comforting journey.
