Crazy Heart(15)

Dir: Scott Cooper
Hailed as Jeff Bridges’ best performance since his seminal ‘Dude’ in The Big Lebowski, and earning him a nomination for Best Actor Oscar – this tale of a beaten up, hard living country singer is already creating a bit of a stir.

Having gone through an excess of towns, drinks and marriages, Brad finally meets his possible redemption in the form of journalist Maggie Gyllenhaal, who sees the man behind the musician. With such a great supporting cast, including Colin Farrell apparently turning in a fair tune as a fellow muso, along with James Keane and Rich Dial, and Ms G getting her own Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress, this is set to be a classic.
