Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Director Richard Linklater sat on screenwriter Robert Kaplow’s (“Me and Orson Welles”) witty and moving script for ten years in order for Ethan Hawke to be the right age to play Hart and his gambit has resulted in his best work since 2014’s “Boyhood.”
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho?
- Excerpt: Frantic and layered, Blue Moon is as strong an acting display as it is a feat of writing and directing. With so many fascinating points to explore, it’s a movie that will only grow upon multiple viewings.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Robert Kaplow’s incisive screenplay is perfectly matched by Ethan Hawke’s heart-wrenching performance as lyricist Lorenz Hart.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Is this the performance of Ethan Hawke’s career?
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: One of the most heartbreaking and beautifully written scenes of the year has Rodgers (Andrew Scott) and Hart talking about the possibility of working together again.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Blue Moon is also just a smart and lively script that lets the actors breathe the era’s attitude and energy while Linklater moves around the single locale to prevent the frame from stagnating.
- [New] | Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: Richard Linklater directs Blue Moon. The Ethan Hawke starrer follows and increasingly drunk and desperate Lorenz Hart on the eve of the premiere of Roger and Hammerstein’s hit musical, Oklahoma!
