Reviews

The New York Times -
A small movie perfectly scaled to the big performance at its center.
|
|
Newsweek -
Crazy Heart gets to you like a good country song--not because it tells you something new, but because it tells it well. It's the singer, not the song.
|
|
Village Voice -
It's merely a well-done, adult American movie--that is to say, a rarity.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Bridges' guileless performance makes this piquant little indie tale of country music, redemption, and the love of a pretty younger woman such a sad-song charmer.
|
|
Variety -
Ever-youthful in his looks and energy, Bridges now stands as one of Hollywood's great old pros, incapable of making a false move.
