Crazy Heart (Scott Cooper, 2009)

8.5/10
Probably only the second Oscar-hype movie I've really enjoyed this year behind An Education. Crazy Heart doesn't bring any new storytelling innovations but it's a movie that does just about everything right and it's easy to overlook its few missteps. The hype surrounding Jeff Bridges' performance is 100% deserved, he is unbelievable. Basically this movie is everything last year's The Wrestler should have been and more. Also the soundtrack is fantastic.
