I saw the movie last fall, just a few weeks prior to the original
release date. I was happy with the choice of Tom Hiddleston as Hank
Williams. He had the physical look to carry it off and I know he has
the talent. I just wish I could say the same with the script.
This story seems to focus on his first marriage and that relationship.
Out of everything Hank Williams did, this is what they focus on? Other
than the music, they barely touched on everything that made him such a
colorful character. It didn't help that there was little chemistry
between two lead characters. Lifetime movies have better stories and
chemistry.
Tom Hiddleston did a nice job with his singing but that isn't worth
watching this movie. Hopefully, this will get buried and someone with
more knowledge of Hank Williams can bring more deserving movie to the
screen.
