Zitate
Hank Williams: Everyone has a little darkness in them. They may not like it. They don't know about it, but it's there. And I'm talking about things like anger, misery, sorrow, shame. And they hear it. I show it to them. And they don't have to take it home.

Brilliant performance by Tom Hiddleston but average film

Tom looks and sounds remarkably like Hank Williams here. If you listen to 'Hey good lookin'' performed by Tom he pronounces 'new' with yod retention ('nyoo') but that's not a mistake due to him being English as if you listen to the Hank Williams recording he does the same! The only problem is the absence of a back story to the central characters, even Hank himself, means you don't particularly care about them or root for them, which is a shame.
