bittersweet redemption

This is a very SAD movie, albeit true to life. Jeff Bridges totally embodies the character, and the close-shot filming brings out the narrow world he inhabits-both inner and outer. The achievement of the film lies in its realism, and in the up-down ending that shows that, despite heartwrenching failure, what matters most is finally being true (and good) to oneself above all. A poignant portrait of being human and fragile, and possessed of the artist's spirit in a commercial world. Bridges deserves serious Oscar consideratrion- finally.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
