Crazy Heart | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Deborah Ross The Spectator This is a story that's been told a thousand times, sometimes with Kris Kristofferson in it, and sometimes not, and it just doesn't bring anything new to the party. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Ed Koch The Atlantic Crazy Heart is a wonderful picture that will immediately affect you and hold your interest to the very end. Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek The film glides by with an unassuming pace, with flashes of tenderness, humour and heartbreak. Rated: 3/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Bridges has played characters like this all-time-low type before, most notably in The Fisher King, except none of them have the same sense of drained and desperate humanity that he displays here. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 28, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Crazy Heart is a respectable hit. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Munkhchimeg T Very detailed and wells shown the deep feelings. Liked the whole story even some scenes are sad Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Bahad j There is one thing about this movie that cannot be missed. I can see that it worked really well on the small details. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Gnr E Its crazy that if you didnt watch this movie you should watch this now Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Test T I watched this on DVD recently. It's a very absorbing story about a country & western star named Bad Blake played by Geff Bridges. Geff plays the lead role so well, at times it's easy to forget he's only acting. The film presents well using a selection of well chosen locations, and is accompanied by an equally appropriate soundtrack which incorporates several catchy songs. Although somewhat predictable, the story makes sense and is easy to follow delivering a satisfying viewing experience. It's a shame that the DVD has no extras as a music video, or musical montage would have been a nice addition. Highly recommended never the less. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Ted B 4.0 Stars; A well deserved Academy Award winning performance by Jeff Bridges and Award nominated performance by Maggie Gyllenhaal carried the story of a washed out legend Country Singer, his battle to find meaning in a life of alcohol and women, and a small town girl who comes to love him. His life spirals down so far that he basically loses everything.. A serious event wakes him up to the realities of his life. But, is it too late? This is definitely not a feel-good movie. But in the end, you are left with hope for him. This is a well put together film with some excellent country music (if you're a fan).... The Award for Best smSong came from film.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review Thunderbird F Some stories feel good. This one doesn't, but lifts you up in the end. Hope and friendship prevail. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
