Crazy Great Acting
Jeff Bridges is, hands down, one of our generations greatest actors and his performance in Crazy Heart proves it. Many years ago, Robert Duvall made a film with similar content called Tender Mercies, for which he garnered an Oscar. While Crazy Heart tells a similar story, this does not diminish the tour de force Bridges delivers. Coincidentally, Robert Duvall has an endearing little cameo in Crazy Heart. Another supporting player, Maggie Gyllenhall, offers another wounded woman. No one in Hollywood delivers vulnerability better than Ms. Gyllenhall. If you think she's good in this, catch her in Cheri (sic?) Baby.
Don't miss this fabulous ensemble performance.
