 Great movie @ a great price May 30, 2007

Have been looking for this movie for years and finally found it on DVD. It is a good story line with a great performance from Duvall. A good family movie.
 Gentle, dignified love story May 29, 2007

I appreciate the gentle, dignified writing style of Horton Foote. I first experienced his unique style of writing in his Oscar-winning screenplay for To Kill a Mockingbird. In that film, he confronted racial injustice, and in the end challenged our answer to the question, "What is justice?" without clunking us over the head. Robert Duvall made his big screen debut in Mockingbird.
In Tender Mercies, Foote and Duvall team up again, and both men win Oscars. This time Foote takes us on the journey of a famous country singer/songwriter, Mac Sledge (Duvall), down on his luck due to years of alcohol abuse. Broke, and with a motel room to pay for when a friend skips out, Mac experiences the tender mercies of the kindly innkeeper, Rosa Lee (Tess Harper in her big screen debut). Again, Foote doesn't clunk us over the head with overt displays of affection, but this is a love story nonetheless, and a good one.

Alcoholisim, loss of a daughter to a senseless traffic accident, sense of failure in a relationship, but life still goes on. In this case to a happy ending.

A friend loaned me their DVD of this movie earlier this year. I'd never seen it. I enjoyed it so much, that I had to purchase it myself. The bonus footage of the up to date interviews with the stars of the movie adds so much meaning to the movie -it is so well done. Every actor/actress in this movie did such a great job in portraying their characters and making them so believable.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie if you like a movie with quality actors, meaning, & real life situations.
