“Excellent! Working from a script by Robert Kaplow, Linklater 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

On the evening of March 31, 1943, legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart confronts his shattered self- confidence in Sardi’s bar as his former collaborator Richard Rodgers celebrates both the opening night of his ground-breaking hit Oklahoma! and his emerging partnership with Oscar Hammerstein. 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.

Starring an almost unrecognizable Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart, BLUE MOON is directed by Richard Linklater (BOYHOOD, BEFORE SUNRISE) and co-stars Andrew Scott, Margaret Qualley and Bobby Cannavale.
