In Willie and Me, Greta Weingarten (Eva Haßmann) is a housewife who is trapped in a stagnant marriage. One evening while serving dinner to her successful but bland husband, she hears a radio announcement about Willie Nelson's farewell concert. Through his music, she is transported back to her disjointed childhood. Greta is suddenly overwhelmed by the need to see Willie Nelson and will do whatever it takes to be at his last concert in Las Vegas. She takes off on her journey, leaving behind the husband and comfortable life she knows. With everything against her, but so much ahead, she realizes that the return ticket becomes her heaviest piece of luggage.

"Willie and Me" is made from love and a dream. I've rarely rooted harder for a movie to succeed or been sadder when it didn't.

Hassmann has crafted an engaging showcase for herself with her debut feature as a writer, producer, director and star.

2.5/5

Despite ludicrous plot points and a protagonist who’s thinly drawn — albeit by design — this shaggy meditation on music is inevitably kind of endearing, at least for Nelson fans.

What it has going for it in spades is a whole lot of silliness.

This lumbering fish-out-of-water comedy at least benefits from having Willie Nelson’s extensive song catalogue serenading almost every scene.

German actress Eva Hassmann's love for Willie Nelson exceeds her filmmaking skills in her writing and directing debut.
