Blue Moon
“Linklater understands how to use his camera in confined spaces to keep a talkie movie visually arresting. And he’s helped by the snap of Robert Kaplow’s screenplay and by an immaculate cast that nails every line.” – NPR
“In an often remarkable career, Hawke has never embraced that truth so completely as he does here.” – LA Times
“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.” – RogerEbert.com
“Blue Moon revels in a fine mind and a great soul, and Hawke’s embodiment of both is exalted and startling. His makeup renders him unrecognizable and is eerily compelling, while his vocal self-transformation is nothing short of miraculous.” – The New Yorker
