Rating: 3.5/5.0

Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek Elevate Drama ‘Get Low’

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 3.5/5.0
Rating: 3.5/5.0

The mystery of such a decision is the driving force behind Aaron Schneider’s “Get Low,” a based-on-a-true-story drama that has already earned Oscar buzz for star Rubert Duvall and praise for co-stars Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, Lucas Black, and Bill Cobbs.
