…You know how in marriage they say “for better or for worse”? I think, in terms of my life, I have entered the “for worse” part, and it happened so quietly I didn’t even recognize it. Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon tells the story of legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart (Ethan Hawke) bravely facing the future as his professional and private life unravel at the opening night party for his former partner’s hit show Oklahoma!. By the time this night is over, Hart will have confronted both a world that no longer values his talent and the seeming impossibility of love.

“Working from a script by Robert Kaplow, Linklater [director] has crafted one of his finest dramedies, a consistently fascinating exploration of the frailty of the artist, buoyed by one of Ethan Hawke’s most remarkable performances.” (Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com)
“One of the more sheerly delightful movies of the year.” (Jake Coyle, The Associated Press)
“Like a backstage pass for Broadway buffs, it’s one hell of a show for those in the know, and a sparkling introduction for the uninitiated.” (Peter Debruge, Variety)
“As for Broadway buffs and lovers of old New York, the witty, hilarious and haunting movie starring a totally transformed Ethan Hawke as musical-theater lyricist Lorenz Hart will have them utterly bewitched.” (Johnny Oleksinki, The New York Post)
