A wonderful film about the creative process and the tortured lives of so many of our “geniuses”
“Bewitched” is a perfect song . “Blue Moon” is a perfect song. Human beings are not capable of such perfection. We're tortured, petty little creatures -- and when we give into the dark voices in our heads, well it ends in dark places.
I knew little of Lorenz Hart before this movie, save for his music. Such a beautiful soul - would that he could've seen that beauty in himself.
Ethan Hawke and Andrew Scott give phenomenal performances, in a film that owes much to the theater it dramatizes.
The Hawke-Linklater pairing is one of the most underrated actor-director mindmelds in cinema. "Blue Moon" is an achievement that rests easy within their distinguished joint filmography.
