SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges) is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who's had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"We've seen this story before. The difference is, Bad Blake makes us believe it happened to 'him.' That's acting. (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"A phenomenal, heart-breaking performance from Jeff Bridges powers this simple but affecting redemption story. (...) Rating: **** (out of five)" (Nev Pierce: Empire)

----------------------------------------
The simple, ordinary story in Crazy Heart (* * * out of four) about a down-on-his-luck country singer is raised by the heartfelt and raw portrayal that Bridges makes look effortless (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)

----------------------------------------
“The Wrestler” on bourbon instead of steroids (...) “Crazy Heart” is humbly radiant, a small thing gracefully done (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Kyle Smith: New York Post)
