Country Strong
Movie Review
By: Grecia Garcia
Over the course of Gwyneth Paltrow’s career and numerous awards, this is by far her stand out performance. The making of this movie allowed Paltrow to be seen and heard by music producers in the music industry. In the moments of weeks after the release of Country Strong, music labels were aggressively in talks of record contracts and planning Paltrow’s nonexistent music career.
Country Strong gives the life of Kelley Canter, a mega country star played by Gwyneth Paltrow. The film begins with Canter in rehab and manager-husband (Tim Mc Graw) taking her out of her program a month early to begin the much anticipated music comeback. Throughout the movie, Canter battles with her alcohol addictions and is incapable of finishing her three-stop country tour. In the midst of battling her demons, Canter finds herself intimately involved with her talented opening act Beau (Garett Hedlund) and her tour manager. Ultimately the film gives the life of a music star who slowly diminishes and loses control over everything.
This movie proved Paltrow’s music talent, and her charm on stage. She draws the audience with her tunes and country swag. Overall this movie delivers great performances by Paltrow and her manager-husband Tim Mc Graw.
