Barely glimpsed

I Saw the Light (2015)

Written & directed by Marc Abraham this biopic stars Tom Hiddleston, Elizabeth Olsen, Cherry Jones and Bardley Whitford. We follow the six year career of country music star Hank Williams as he struggles with women, whiskey and a wonky back.

The problem with this film is that while it hits all the important notes it does not do a good job of joining them up. It feels more like a series of snap shots taken through out William's career rather than a flowing story. Tom Hiddleston gives an impressive performance as always but that is not enough to elevate the film.


3/5
