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 (Golden Globe nominee 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.

Winner of two Golden Globes and TWO Academy Awards: Best Actor (Jeff Bridges), & Best Original Song!

A juicy, career-crowning role. Bridges - a master of subtle brilliance - plays the hell out of it. Not by showing off but by going bone-deep into a character who only thinks he's running on empty. 'Crazy Heart' may finally win him the Oscar that's unfairly eluded him and it offers the pleasure of watching a great actor at the peak of his form. -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

There's a powerful symmetry at work in 'Crazy Heart' that's impossible to resist. It's a parallel between protagonist Bad Blake, a country singer whose entire life has led him to a nadir of disintegration, and star Jeff Bridges, whose exceptional film choices have put him at the height of his powers just in time to make Mr. Blake the capstone role of his career. -- Kenneth Turan, LA Times

'Crazy Heart' is blessed with so many marvelous moments, lovely lines and vivid characters that it's hard to know where to begin... And it revels in the glory of Mr. Bridges. It's a performance on a scale with the West's wide-open spaces. -- Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
