Crazy Heart (2009 R)

   Ths movie stars Jeff Bridges (True Grit in 2010. King Kong in 1977), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Sherry Baby, Donnie Darko), Robert Duvall (Falling Down, To Kill a Mockingbird), Collin Farrell (A Home at the End of the World, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus).
   The plot is Bridges plays a hard living country musician who is interviewd by Gyllenhaal.  Bridges starts to make a llife with Gyllenhaal and her son.  There relationship ends not so well.  Farrell plays a singer Bridges mentors, has success and gives Bridges a second chance at fame. 
   I rated the movie as a B, B+.  It is definatly worth renting or streaming.  The acting is above avarage. The plot shows real lives not things are good and happy.  The ending was satisfing.   When need a good music supervisor its hard to go wrong wth T. Bone Burnett for this kind of movie.  I think he did the music for Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
