Okay, so I just saw this really interesting movie directed by Richard Linklater. It’s a biographical dramedy about the lyricist Lorenz Hart, and Ethan Hawke absolutely nails the role. Margaret Qualley is great in it too, and Andrew Scott plays Richard Rodgers. Bobby Cannavale shows up as well. The script is by Robert Kaplow, and the music, which is fantastic, comes from Graham Reynolds – he’s worked with Linklater a bunch of times. Sandra Adair did the editing. Sony Pictures Classics released it, and it made around $585,000 over the weekend from about 689 theaters – a pretty good average of $850 per theater. It’s now made a total of $686,000 after two weeks. The whole thing runs about 100 minutes, and I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re into music biopics!
