Blue Moon

Oh wow. I did not expect this movie to be as good as it was. This was light, deep, witty, sad, and so much more. The music is on point, the atmosphere felt alive. Ethan Hawke absolutely kills it with his performance. Andrew Scott was also great but was slightly muted by Hawke. The camerawork and realtime progression of the movie made this feel grounded and much more immersive. Hart is desperately trying to cling on to a long gone prime, he cant come to terms with the fact that he is living in the epilogue of his own story. And he is lonely, he is so lonely. He has friends but he is nonetheless alone. He drowns it out with alcohol and conversation. But he is not loved, and that leaves a gaping hole inside him, one that he doesnt dare describe, despite his way with words. Ultimately he doesnt get his graceful comeback. He watches his lifelong partner succeed without him and crashes out of this world, with no meaningful emotional bond with anyone. This is a movie that makes you feel, rather than understand. Whether you can relate or not.
