TRAINING DAY STAR'S SPECTACULAR TURN AS LYRICIST LORENZ HART STEALS THE SHOW IN THIS COMEDY DRAMA

- REVIEWS BY DAMON SMITH

A BARNSTORMING and transformative lead performance from Ethan Hawke as celebrated lyricist Lorenz Hart - the waspish wordsmith responsible for The Lady is a Tramp and My Funny Valentine with composer Richard Rodgers - puts a spring in the step of this intimate comedy drama.

Set over the course of one turbulent night in March 1943, when a curtain rises on one of the great Broadway musicals, Blue Moon is a handsomely crafted study of artistic endeavour and bruised egos, peppered with the kind of bile-slathered one-liners that catch the eye of Academy Award voters.
