I have absolutely no interest in myself whatsoever.

Blue Moon — 2.5/5

Overall, I walk away thinking the movie feels loud. Ethan Hawke is a dirtbag boyfriend of a different color. He's a small man in a quiet bar, playing to an audience that isn't there, an empty rafters. I honestly can't tell if he's a good actor or a bad actor in this. He disappears in the role, yes, but by virtue of shouting himself down. It's a movie where a guy tells stories about himself to build sympathy for a guy who's so obviously done it to himself. He's trying to convince you of something, because if you can believe it, then it must be true. It's an interesting character, but I don't know if he's my ideal version of a main character. The whole movie feels hopeless.
