graham p Watched this on a plane. Loved Hiddleston actually singing the vocals. Really interesting insight into Williams which I had not previously delved into Since watching this I’ve played him more and more and have been up close and personal with his suits and guitars in the Ryman and the country hall of fame in Nashville. All on the back of seeing this movie. If you are a real fan of music and its history. Watch I saw the light Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Blu S I loved this movie. Partly because of hiddleston and Olsen, but I loved the story it told. The plot is easily remembered, but tbe movie is a good one! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Nim T From a friend, I first heard of Hank Williams's songs and I had a liking to the country style and its simplistic words that entertained me with fun and love. When I was watching this film, Hank had an interesting, yet depressing life. I liked the cast because of the chemistry that they were able to show in the film. My complaint was that Tom Hiddleston was a little too old for this role, even though I commend his efforts in presenting this country legend. The likeliness of the voices do not necessarily match up, but nonetheless was average with enhancing the musical aspects that Hank Williams had. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Georgan G It was nice to hear his music again, but the movie itself had no depth. Thought I might get an insight into his alcoholism, but nothing. Sad story of a short talented life. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Jedi D Though the actors deliver a great effort and many scenes are beautifully filmed, the movie lacks any energy. The story of Hank Williams deserved better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Over all a decent movie. Really good acting. I had a problem with the music 🎶 though. I used to listen to Hank Williams greatest hits when I was a kid. The thing is Hank was a very unique singer with a special gift. That is why he was so famous and sold all those records. Although the actor did an ok job at singing, it was just ok. He has a higher pitched voice than Hank and I felt this hurt the film. If you had never heard of Hank Williams you would probably be wondering what was so special about this guy? Unfortunately in the movie, all the Hank singing came off like a typical bar band doing Hank songs. It did not have the special emotional quality of the real Hank, and I think that hurt the movie.. They should have used original recordings. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
