Blue Moon

On a tense evening in 1943, a brilliant but troubled lyricist waits in a famous New York bar while his former collaborator celebrates a major musical success with a new creative partner. As friends and acquaintances arrive, he wrestles with professional jealousy, fading relevance, loneliness, and complicated hopes for connection.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy dialogue-driven character studies, Broadway history, and bittersweet stories like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; Not for you if you want fast pacing, broad action, or a conventional biopic.
