Blue Moon, examines the real-life partnership of legendary Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and Lorenz (Larry) Hart. Expect outstanding performances by Andrew Scott as Rodgers and Ethan Hawke as Hart. (Hawke is nominated for Best actor at this year’s Academy Awards.)
The film’s screenwriter, Robert Kaplow, based his script on the letters between Lorenz Hart and Elizabeth Weiland (played by Margaret Qualley).
One of the best-directed, best-written and best-acted films I have seen in a while. – Stephen Romei, The Australian
Hawke’s elegiac performance is worth the price of admission alone. – Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, The Conversation, Australia
