Blue Moon
BLUE MOON, a charming portrait of troubled genius Lorenz Hart, is a fitting tribute to a great man who missed out on accolades he so richly deserved.
In BLUE MOON, director Richard Linklater has crafted a riveting chamber piece set in real time at Sardi’s on the historic night in 1943 of Richard Rodgers’ (Andrew Scott) greatest triumph: the premiere of Oklahoma! Ethan Hawke delivers a charming, lived-in performance as Rodgers’ former collaborator, lyricist Lorenz Hart, an alcoholic and marginally closeted raconteur grappling with the fact that Rodgers’ biggest success now belongs to a new partnership with Oscar Hammerstein. As flowers and accolades pour into the restaurant, heralding a new era of American musicals, Hart holds court at the bar, regaling a plainspoken bartender (Bobby Cannavale) with illustrious stories. Ultimately, through Hart’s reflections on love, art and legacy, the film becomes a stirring, bittersweet elegy for his overshadowed place in musical history.DramaPT1H40MR2026-03-07Ethan Hawke
