It's no "Tender Mercies"
PostedFebruary 21, 2010

from New York
Rent and watch "Tender Mercies" with Robert Duvall and you will see where this movie and "The Wrestler" fall short of the mark. The script seems to steer clear of any deep exploration of the character's struggles. It instead settles for very simplistic explainations and solutions. Now he is an alcoholic, now he's not. Now he is a "has been" and now he's not. What the film does provide is a lot of shots of the main character smoking and drinking. It seems like the screen writer(s) know nothing about life or music and just try and fake it.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
