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 Kevin Maher Times (UK) One of the most committed performances of Ethan Hawke’s career is cruelly undercut by some ridiculous “shrinking” tricks in this biopic about the Broadway songwriter Lorenz Hart. Rated: 2/5 Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Connor Lightbody AwardsWatch Blue Moon is the Texan director’s return to what his career sprang from; lovelorn human beings trying to survive through the vices and virtues that they have fostered for themselves. Rated: A- Feb 20, 2025 Full Review David Katz The Film Stage Blue Moon is another beautifully personal work from Linklater, full of authorial idiosyncrasies and tics, but distinguishing the film from his corpus is it being the kind you can only make at a mature career stage. Feb 20, 2025 Full Review James Mottram South China Morning Post Linklater does a fine job of keeping the viewer engaged, despite the one-location setting. ... Blue Moon is an increasingly moving and melancholic piece, largely thanks to a tender and tragic turn from Ethan Hawke. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
