Stephen A. Russell Time Out Linklater knows how to draw the most intimate performances from Hawke – and he’s brilliant here. His pairing with Scott, so devastating in All of Us Strangers, is note-perfect. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) While a visual flair for deep period will never really be Linklater’s forte, there’s plenty of strong work from the cast. Rated: 3/5 Feb 19, 2025 Full Review David Opie IndieWire Ethan Hawke is charming and “overwhelming” in equal measure, a force of audacious, vibrating energy that thrums like a choir line vibrato. A witty, salacious biopic... Richard Linklater could attract award buzz for Hawke's witty, theatrical performance. Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Naemi Victoria Film Ireland Magazine Ethan Hawke’s compelling performance lends the character a vulnerability that grants his despair emotional resonance. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Daniel Eagan ScreenAnarchy Linklater and Hawke are old hands at dialogue-heavy films, and this one glistens and gleams like a jewel. Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters Here’s a simple one: Blue Moon is as close as it gets to a perfect work of art. Exceptionally written, superbly acted, and wonderfully moving, it’s a sucker punch little gem of a film, gripping as it is entertaining. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
