Editorial Reviews
Academy Award® winner Robert Duvall headlines this touching story of a down-and-out country singer named Mac and the young widow (Tess Harper) he meets in a small Texas town. But as their relationship blossoms, Mac’s years of hard living resurface when his music star ex-wife (Betty Buckley) appears bringing his estranged daughter (Ellen Barkin) with her. Will Mac’s painful past lead him toward an uncertain future – or will he find a way to move past his sorrow and start a fresh new life?
Customer Reviews
Tender Mercies
Customer Rating:Excellent movie - but with Robert Duvall how can you go wrong. Transaction was easy and prompt.
great movie
Customer Rating:A great movie with Robert Duvall at his very best. Did not realize he could sing.
Poor Sound Quality
Customer Rating:The story line for this movie is great however the sound quality is very poor.
Tender Mercies - A rare gem
Customer Rating:This is a gem of a movie. A unique view of Americana seen through the eyes of an Australian director. A sublime screenplay, great technical values and extremely strong performances from the cast add to the entertainment value. But it is Robert Duvall's movie and he richly deserved the accolades he received for his performance. I'm not a country music fan but I like the soundtrack to this film because it supports the story brilliantly.
Watched every once in a while, this movie will restore your faith in the power of humanity to restore itself.
Superb simplicity
Customer Rating:This film has the quiet beauty of a flower in a wide field, or of a smile of forgiveness after tears.
Its spiritual roots strike into the rich, varied soil of the Bible. The emotional atmosphere is like Psalm 90 and Psalm 103 (note "tender mercies" in the old translation).
There are questions without answers, and questions that never take shape in words.
Road signs: (1) no subtitles; (2) a little harsh language; (3) the sound of the wind; (4) it needs, and deserves, a quiet evening.
Few movies have drawn me into the story like this one, or have done more for me.
It's simply cut from good cloth. It should wear well, maybe for a lifetime.
