Crazy Heart (2009)

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2010)

Jeff Bridges gives Oscar-worthy performance of a lifetime! Maggie Gyllenhaal's nagging performance is surprisingly tolerable. Even though the movie has a dark similarity with last year's 'The Wrestler,' this movie is a far better one and you won't feel like snoozing. A well directed movie with a strong script. The movie also boasts of an excellent soundtrack. Little know director Scott Cooper has done an amazing job in getting the best out of both Bridges and Gyllenhaal. Go see it. I give it a B+.
Please NOTE: I saw this movie on Jan 30 and this review was written then.....way before the Oscars were announced last week. Hence the prediction......;)
