Official site

Four-time Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake in the debut feature film "Crazy Heart" from writer-director Scott Cooper. Bad Blake 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. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man's crazy heart.

Rated R for language and brief sexuality. – 111 minutes.

"This show belongs to Bridges, who starts off as a magnificent train wreck and then takes a journey with the character."
- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

"Some actors are blessed. Jeff Bridges is one of them."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"It's a mark of how fine a performance Bridges gives that it succeeds beautifully even though the besotted, bedeviled country singer has been an overly familiar popular culture staple for forever."
- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"Gyllenhaal and Bridges are marvelous together, playing their characters' cautious affection for each other as an alluring winding path that's actually laden with minefields."
- Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

"Crazy Heart, written and directed by Scott Cooper, is a small movie perfectly scaled to the big performance at its center."
- A.O. Scott, New York Times
