Wuchak
A broken-down Country musician seeks a new life in Texas
A single mother (Tess Harper) runs a motel & gas station in the lonely plains between Dallas and Austin. She hires an alcoholic man who couldnt pay what he owed (Robert Duvall) and discovers that hes an ex-Country star.
Tender Mercies (1983) is a lowkey drama set in rural Texas, reminiscent of "Resurrection" (1980) mixed with Coal Miners Daughter and the later The Apostle. While its better than Resurrection, its not quite as good as the other two. However, if you like subdued storytelling, like Places in the Heart, you might prefer it. The film was reimagined as Crazy Heart 26 years later with Jeff Bridges, which also features Duvall.
On the female front, Tess is winsom...
