Country Strong

This film is about a young man who is making his way into the music business. He falls in love with an alcoholic singer/songwriter who is trying to make her comeback into the music world. This film is about her journey back into the spotlight, also telling the story of a young woman who is a newcomer in the music business, and the young man's story. Country Strong is a moving film which leaves the viewer almost speechless. This film, however, had poor transitions and some scenes when on, and on.
