When I heard the first few notes of Jeff Bridges singing, the not-quite-in-tune gravelly voiced vocal timbre at first made me concerned that the musical element may damage the credibility of the film. The songs were good enough and hooky enough that it was easy to believe they were once hit records.

He writes and co-writes some great songs here, and I was glad to hear one song in movie by Sam Phillips, T Bone’s ex-wife and one of my favorite singers.Ĭurt: I thought the music did what it was supposed to do, provide believability. Stephen: The music in the film has been talked about a lot too, which should come as no surprise with the incomparable T Bone Burnett in charge. Granted, Bridges star shines brightly, capturing our attention to such an extent that we may sometimes miss the other performances, but the casting is excellent. And I loved the scenes with Robert Duvall, Bad’s best friend.Ĭurt: You are so right, Stephen.

Colin Farrell is surprisingly good as the hot young country singer who was given his start by Bad Blake. The chemistry between Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal is great, showing us a picture of a relationship between a “rock star” and a girl who obviously grew up on his music. Jeff Bridges is entirely convincing as the aging country singer Bad Blake, down on his luck, and the movie is worth watching for him alone. The casting, of course, is probably what has been given the most attention, and for good reason. Stephen: With a film as rich as this one, there are many areas one could spend time writing about. There are a couple possible spoilers in this review. Knowing that Curt also appreciated the film and for some of the same reasons, I asked him to write a review with me. Walking out of the theater after viewing Crazy Heart, I knew I needed to write about it, at least to help figure out why I loved it, if nothing else.
