2025 · d. Richard Linklater
Starring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott, Bobby Cannavale
Playing out in real time, this biopic follows troubled lyricist Lorenz Hart as he grapples with his legacy and a new era of musical theater during the opening night of one-time partner Richard Rodgers’ show Oklahoma! Swinging between flamboyance, insecurity, nostalgia, and bitterness, a nearly unrecognizable Ethan Hawke gives a career-best performance that we suspect the Academy will notice.
