Modest to a fault and stirring clear of artificial melodrama. But it might be a bit too mild-mannered for its own good. Robert Duvall 's acting is good but I don't think he was a very convincing singer. Maybe that was the point.

In spite of its story's simplicity, "Tender Mercies" is one truly golden drama.
