Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a career filled with unforced, naturalistic performances, Jeff Bridges gives one of his finest in Crazy Heart. His oft-married, booze-soaked troubadour Bad Blake has just rolled into Santa Fe when he meets Maggie Gyllenhaal's journalist Jean. "Where do all the songs come from?" she asks during their initial encounter. "Life, unfortunately", he sighs. Against Jean's better judgment, her fling with Blake blooms into a full-fledged relationship. Between gigs, Blake hangs out with the divorcée and her 4-year-old son, with whom he establishes an instant rapport, possibly because the musician is just an overgrown kid himself (and also because he hasn't seen his own boy in years). While Blake plays juke joints, his protégé, Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell, cast against type to fine effect), plays stadiums, but just when director Scott Cooper's debut seems to be going down the same path as A Star Is Born, Sweet offers his mentor an opportunity that could revive his reputation--at the expense of his still-healthy ego. Between Jean and Tommy, things start looking up for Blake until a critical error puts his stab at redemption in jeopardy. Once Robert Duvall enters the scene as Blake's favorite bartender, it's clear that Cooper has Tender Mercies in his sights, but Crazy Heart, which features music by T-Bone Burnett and rough-hewn singing by its Golden Globe-winning star, plays more like a sincere cover version than a strikingly original composition. Still, like Duvall's in Tender Mercies, Bridges's performance is Oscar-worthy. --Kathleen C. Fennessy




Rating: - Different ending
It is a good movie with great acting by the actors but I am a bit disappointed because they have changed the ending. I read the novel that lies behind the movie for just a few months ago and that is totally different from the movie. The ending in the novel is far more trustworthy than the one in the movie ! But nevertheless it is a great movie!

Rating: - "...The Good Ones Feel Like They've Always Been There..."
As every film lover knows, Jeff Bridges has been putting in great performances for years - but "Crazy Heart" is different. Quietly magnificent throughout the entire movie, he owns the Oscar on this one.

"Bad Blake" is a 57-year old country singer, drunk most of the time and shuffling with a cigarette in his gob towards another small time venue he doesn't care about. As he empties a plastic carton of piss into the parking lot of a bowling alley (having been on the road for hours), he ... Read More

Rating: - Crazy Heart
The film was beautifully shot and looked fabulous in Blu-ray. Jeff Bridges was excellent and convincing throughout. However, the weak point of the story is how this reasonable-looking youngish girl (Maggie Gillenhaal)could fall in love with such a slob. It all gets resolved in the end and the film was enjoyable if not entirely convincing

Rating: - Crazy Heart
Good Film, not for those wanting to hear a lot music , the film is more about the character and the things thet happen whilst travelling to play and sing.

Rating: - Outstanding
I haven't enjoyed a film as much as `Crazy Heart' in quite some time. It has the perfect blend of amazing performances, great storyline and an awesome soundtrack. This follows Bad Blake who is an old, alcoholic country singer who has seen better times. He struggles to make ends meet and is tired and jaded by his life on the road. That is until he meets Jean (a newspaper reporter writing an article about him) and her son, Buddy, who give him something to love for. The first thing I noticed is ... Read More
