BITTER SWEET

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was

Tender Mercies (1983)

This story by Horton Foote is directed by Bruce Beresford and stars Robert Duval.

It is a gem.

Very small scale and exquisitely detailed.

It has some great people in it to support Duval as a broken down country singer who is on his last bender. Only he doesn't know that yet.

A small family and a small town along with a small band weans him from the terrors of the success road.

I liked it a lot and would not mind seeing it again. I might even look forward to it.

That makes it a 4 out of Netflix5.
