if COUNTRY STRONG is \u201ccountry\u201d, then it still ain\u2019t cool.\u00a0 And if this film is about the inner strength and overcoming heartbreaks\/disaster that the world has come to associate with country music and the country community, COUNTRY STRONG sorely misses its mark; something that pains me to write, as not only do I admire writer\/director Shana Feste\u2019s first film &#8211;\u00a0 \u201cThe Greatest\u201d &#8211; but I have long appreciated both Tim McGraw and Gwyneth Paltrow.\u00a0 On the up side, however, Paltrow and McGraw turn in individually solid performances that are buttressed by a stellar turn from Garrett Hedlund.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Canter is the epitome of a country star.\u00a0 Look in the dictionary under \u201ccountry star\u201d and you will undoubtedly find her picture.\u00a0 Big hair, big voice, sequined glittery clothes, Grammy upon Grammy, platinum upon platinum record, a legion of faithful fans and personal catastrophe and heartache that has become media fodder.\u00a0 As if lifted from a page out of today\u2019s news, Kelly has been in rehab for almost a year after an incident where she plummeted 10 feet from a stage during a concert in Dallas.\u00a0 Sadly, she was 5 \u00bd months pregnant at the time and lost the baby.\u00a0\u00a0 Feeling sympathetic for her, one\u2019s heart begins to ache, believing that this devastating loss is what drove her to drink and in search of help.\u00a0 But, such turns out to not be the case as we eventually learn that she had a .19 blood alcohol level while performing and it was her own drunkenness that caused the accident.\u00a0 Nevertheless, she has been in rehab, getting stronger but needier, not to mention getting close with her \u201csponsor\u201d Beau, himself a wannabe future country singer and songwriter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5865\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs2.jpg\" alt=\"cs2\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And while Kelly heals, her manager James has been chomping at the big to get his cash cow back on stage and back on tour.\u00a0\u00a0 But what\u2019s this?\u00a0 James isn\u2019t just Kelly\u2019s manager.\u00a0 He\u2019s her husband.\u00a0 One would never suspect given his seeming indifference to her when he comes to collect her from rehab one month before her scheduled release date.\u00a0 (And we all know what happens when people leave rehab early, don\u2019t we?)\u00a0 Reluctantly, Kelly agrees to leave and go back out on tour but with one stipulation &#8211; she wants Beau as her opening act.\u00a0 James, however, has another stipulation- he wants a pretty young thing named Chiles Stanton to be the opening act.\u00a0 An alleged former beauty queen turned country singer, Chiles has the voice (and the looks), but a severe case of stage fright makes it impossible for even James to ignore Kelly\u2019s demand.\u00a0 So, he pulls both Chiles and Beau into the tour.<\/p>\n<p>As they prepare for their first major concert, Kelly is popping pills and drinking vodka, worrying about keeping Beau as her own boy toy, but wanting to cling to James as both manager and husband, while James worries more about pretty little Chiles and how good are ticket sales.\u00a0 Needless to say, disaster strikes as Beau is proven right &#8211; Kelly shouldn\u2019t have left rehab &#8211; and her comeback tour starts to sink before Kelly can even sing one song.\u00a0 Can Kelly pull it all together and come back COUNTRY STRONG for her Dallas show?\u00a0 Will James fall for Chiles or fall back in love with Kelly?\u00a0 Will Kelly lean more on Beau?\u00a0 Will Chiles steal the show?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5866\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs3-204x300.jpg\" alt=\"cs3\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs3-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs3.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We all know Gwyneth Paltrow can sing.\u00a0 We heard her in \u201cDuets\u201d with a memorable performance of \u201cCruisin\u201d with Huey Lewis.\u00a0 It was magical.\u00a0\u00a0 But can she sing country?\u00a0 You bet and its because of her singing talent that the script should have had more of her singing and less of her falling down drunk, because the latter &#8211; albeit done well &#8211; gets old really quickly.\u00a0 As Kelly, when Paltrow sings, she shines.\u00a0 When she acts, she is memorable.\u00a0 But put that together with this particular film and everything is forgettable, which is a shame because she brings this great vulnerability and innocence to the character, both of which get mired down in some hokey dialogue, uneven storytelling and extremely bad script continuity and editing.<\/p>\n<p>I am a long time fan of Tim McGraw as both a recording artist and performer and actor.\u00a0 As James, he wears his heart on his sleeve, giving this no nonsense businessman a little more depth than one would expect in the character.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that emotion is too rare and when visible, is not used to its best advantage to create a meaningful connection with Paltrow, thus further detracting from two fine performances.<\/p>\n<p>As Chiles Stanton, Leighton Meester is not only a country Barbie, but an annoying country Barbie.\u00a0 You connect with her, but you don\u2019t like her.\u00a0 The real standout though is Garrett Hedlund.\u00a0 He steals your heart and the film as Beau.\u00a0 Masculine, more than a modicum of integrity, not only can he sing, but he has layers of emotion that not only blend with each of the other principals, but with the music.\u00a0 And his voice&#8230;let\u2019s just say, I wouldn\u2019t mind an album from him in the near future.\u00a0 If there is one truly wonderful memorable aspect of COUNTRY STRONG, it is Garrett Hedlund.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5867\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs4.jpg\" alt=\"cs4\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs4.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs4-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Shana Feste, given the excellence of character construction and\u00a0 emotional connective tissue of her first film, \u201cThe Greatest\u201d, I am surprised that COUNTRY STRONG falls short on so many fronts.\u00a0 A subject that has built in emotional and dramatic gravitas up the wazoo, the dialogue falls short and the characters, but for Beau, are too one dimensional, lacking connectivity not only with each other and the audience.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There is a permeating shallowness to each character as the story itself as it lacks completeness, being riddled with holes in relationships and backstory.\u00a0 Even more disappointing is the ending, which I will not reveal, but suffice to say, there was a point at which the film should have ended and had it done so, would have been glorious and energetic, capturing the very essence of the term \u201cCOUNTRY STRONG\u201d.\u00a0 But for whatever reason, Feste chose to keep going and going, killing any positivity quicker than a bad chorus lyric.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5868\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs6.jpg\" alt=\"cs6\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs6.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/cs6-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Given the ending and a multitude of other blatant \u201cWTF\u201d visuals, I have to question editors Carol Littleton and Conor O\u2019Neill, which pains me given the consistent excellence of Littleton\u2019s prior works. Was anyone actually watching the film as it was cut?\u00a0 I stopped counting the number of times Paltrow has black mascara streaming down her face, covering her face all smeared, and then she looks up and without having wiped her face, she is clean as a whistle.\u00a0 Same with her hair.\u00a0 With many of the individual scenes, one has to question how many takes were used to achieve a final edit of what we see on screen.\u00a0 I have never seen hair go from big and poofy and curly to flat as a pancake back to poofy and perfectly curly all in the same song.\u00a0 Amazing.\u00a0 This is why God invented hair spray people &#8211; get it poofy and keep it poofy.\u00a0 Get it flat and keep it flat.\u00a0 Distracting to a fault.\u00a0 Thankfully, John Bailey (who just happens to be married to editor Littleton) was on board as cinematographer and raises the bar on an otherwise unremarkable film.<\/p>\n<p>Where Feste does excel is with the selection of music.\u00a0 Aided by Michael Brook and music supervisor Randall Poster, not only are there some recognizable songs, but new ones.\u00a0 Musical performances by Paltrow, Meester and Hedlund, although it sounded like all of Hedlund\u2019s songs were being sung in half-time, slowed to a tempo slower than the mating time of a snail.<\/p>\n<p>COUNTRY STRONG is like a dramatic washing machine &#8211; the laundry load hasn\u2019t had sufficient pre-soak and whites are mixed with colors, resulting in a bleeding into monotone bland.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Canter &#8211; Gwyneth Paltrow<\/p>\n<p>James Canter &#8211; Tim McGraw<\/p>\n<p>Beau Hutton &#8211; Garrett Hedlund<\/p>\n<p>Chiles Stanton &#8211; Leighton Meester<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Shana Feste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: debbie lynn elias As I left the screening room after the final credits rolled by for COUNTRY STRONG, my mind was playing the lyrics \u201cI was country, when country wasn\u2019t cool.\u201d\u00a0 And all I could think was that had any self-respecting true \u201ccountry\u201d star witnessed what I had just seen and heard, they could [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5865,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,9],"tags":[882,176],"class_list":["post-5862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies","category-reviews","tag-country-strong","tag-drama"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
