A Clinic in Acting

The cast of Crazy Heart offers a clinic in "How To" and everyone should take note. The story has been done a million times, and everyone has heard this tune before. What's new is the heartfelt portraits from Bridges, who finally gets his Oscar, and especially Gyllenhaal who makes crying and genuine, strong feminism appear as easy as blinking. Such drama will be lost on most everyone, for there's only one crash scene and not much blood or violence, but that odd thing everyone in the cast keeps doing may also mezmerize the gaming hords: actual acting.
