Tender Mercies
Robert Duvall gives yet another Academy Award winning performance as Mac Sledge, a self-destructive alcoholic and country singer who finds redemption in a deserted motel in Texas. Mac discovers a new meaning to life through his burgeoning relationship with motel owner, Rosa Lee (Tess Harper), and her son Sonny (Allan Hubbard); which he is forced to question when his ex-wife, Dixie (Betty Buckley) and daughter, Sue Anne (Ellen Barkin), come to town. Directed by Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) with an Academy Award winning screenplay by Horton Foote (To Kill A Mockingbird), Tender Mercies is a contemplative film filled with outstanding performances.
