    I just saw Nouvelle Vague and loved it--a movie about the creation of a great work of art that feels (aptly) casual, tossed-off, impolite, just as Blue Moon is a movie about theater that feels (aptly) like good theater. I don't think anyone in movies is having a better year than Richard Linklater.

    Watched the most amazing film last night called "Blue Moon" about the great lyricist Lorenz Hart played by Ethan Hawke (His greatest role?) As a guy who has been obsessed with lyrics his whole life (and who can be quite critical other people's lyrics) I quite related to the film. Funny sad & wise RS

    it preys on 2 of my biggest psychological vulnerabilities (movies about movies, weird little french guys) but i still think Nouvelle Vague was my favorite movie of 2025. between that and Blue Moon it was a banner year for linklater doing portraits of Genius Assholes I Don't Want To Hang With

    Watched this movie the other night. It's great, and this review captures it beautifully. Has Ethan Hawke given the best movie performance (Blue Moon) and best TV series performance (The Lowdown) of the year? A strong case can be made.

    from EB White's perspective Blue Moon is a movie about trying to write in a bar, being interrupted by an alcoholic 5'0" man in his late 40s in love with a smoking hot 20 year old NYU student, inadvertently getting an idea for a book about a mouse who drives a little car from him, then leaving

    as someone who has studied his career extensively, this is because he is a character actor who also happens to be a movie star, so his two other acting nominations are in supporting performances (Training Day, Boyhood). His role in BLUE MOON is very much a character actor performance.

    BLUE MOON knocked me out. I went in expecting a great Hawke performance, but the whole movie floored me. It’s achingly bittersweet and knows how to cut to the heart of writing as an artform. Seek it out.

    A more fun game than “X was robbed” is “which film got overlooked that would have killed in a previous cycle”. I think “Blue Moon” is an absolute Oscar sensation in the late 2000s, early 2010s.

    Blue Moon is a gorgeous film. Best thing I've seen Ethan Hawke do, probably. It's daring - almost a filmed play - but dynamic. A smart, sad, funny, & absolutely timely look at real artists & what they're up against.

    In film, Blue Moon, lyricist Lorenz Hart, meets E.B. White author in Sardi's lounge. White discusses the power of language and Hart laments the obstacles in turning raw emotion into lyrics due to his vulnerabilities. Art forms touch the human soul and unite. #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity

    It is the crossing paths of Broadway royalty Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart that are at the crux of Richard Linklater's latest film, "Blue Moon." But unlike the pair they are portraying, Ethan Hawke says he and Andrew Scott came to the roles without any backstory of their own.

    Richard Linklater naver makes a dull film, Blue Moon sees him re-team with Ethan Hawke from his Before Sunrise trilogy. Shot in 15 days in Dublin, it's an acerbic portrait of Larry Hart, the lyricist whose creative partnership with Richard Rodgers ends abruptly.4/5 film-authority.com/2026/01/05/b...

    "The fallout of BLUE MOON is an assertive, pile-driving movie star performance from Ethan Hawke, but most compelling is how Richard Linklater and his collaborators have rendered this occasion to tell about a life—even a night’s life—in the terms one uses to speak about art itself."
