I love to see Robert Duvall---he is such a wonderful actor. and Tesh Harper--great actress---I did want to find the soundtrack of songs that were in Tender Mercies--where can I find all those wonderful songs?

We rented this film several years ago and fell in love with it. Duvall gives his usual nuanced performance, with wonderful support from Tess Harper and the young boy who portrays her son.
One Sunday recently, this film was on one of the all movie channels. After seeing it for the second time, we realized that our grandson, who loves bluegrass music, would appreciate the story.
We bought the DVD for him to take to college to share with his roommates. It is a classic, beautifully realized story.

This would have to be one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen. Robert Duvall plays Mac who is a "Burned Out" country singer (note the Hollywood cliche). Mac wanders around in the movie in a type of daze as if "the mean Repo man he up and took away his pickup truck and his wife she left him for his best friend and the whiskey jug is his nemesis and his dawg he up and died".One cannot help but wonder if Mac could use a prescribed course of Prozac to cheer him up.I give this movie 5 stars because I like Tess Harper although why she would put up with a guy who acts like his favourite toy was stolen is beyond me.It seems like many reviewers of this movie consider a movie to be "exquisite" and "captivating" if it is about some old drunk who is seeking so called 'Redemption". I think Mac should enrol in a 12 step program or appear on Dr. Phil or Oprah.
