as a fan of American troubadours (ie singer-songwriters), i LOVED this movie. Jeff Bridges is PERFECT as are many of the situations he finds himself in.
Robert Duvall is superb as well (goes a bit without saying) and the music is excellent.
if you dream of having taken the road with Townes or Willie or Nanci Griffith this movie is a must see.
if you just like a good story of human fumbling and matters of the heart, then you will like it too.
