Biography. Sad. Excellent commentary, making Of, etc.

The first movie titled "The Last Ride" was about this talented mans last ride and this one was more about his life. Both were excellent and if you don't want to learn about some ones life don't watch a movie that describes it, the good…

Apparently there was no editor available? This horrible film may have had a chance if they cut out all the boring bits and have it some structure, but as it stands it has no focus and no characters that a viewer can like our care about.

Upon a second try with this, it still doesn't work. It's slow and plodding pace is gut-wrenching. That it completely ignores what must have been a frantic recording schedule for Hank and his band in his, sadly short career pays the man no…

The movie just did not get across the fact that Hank died before he was 30 years old! He had written so many great songs.

This was a childhood recall, and was amazing. Hank Williams and crews were done proud. Must see if you like the classics that started music.

The old movie about Hank with George Hamilton is better

Tom Hiddleston did a great job - I think he sang great and also portrayed Hank very well. It's sad that Sony butchered Hank's story. They skipped around in this movie so much that it was hard to follow and they left out very important…

Tom Hiddleston is an amazing actor who did a wonderful job of portraying a deeply troubled and sympathetic performer/songwriter. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have learned some of the background of America's Hillbilly Shakespeare!

As a biopic this item is pretty forgettable. Other than looking like Williams and singing not too badly, Tom Hiddleston is pretty useless. Of course, that is probably due to the pathetic direction and production which gets little feel for…

Really slow, and really boring. Tom Hiddleston did a fantastic job though.

Very disappointing. Main character was good, but the lifestyle was very discouraging. Williams was a good song writer, but his lifestyle shouldn't be celebrated at all. What a waste of talent.

Not a great biopic because it's too episodic; it does not go fully enough into the Nashville milieu. Tom Hiddleston does a fine job, as most have noted, but Elizabeth Olsen seems to have wandered in from another film set, there's no…

Five stars for Tom Hiddleston and the one and only Hank Williams and his music. Kudos to Rodney Crowell and his work with Tom Hiddleston to bring back Hank Williams as close to life as humanly possible.

Great performance by Tom Hiddleston. I grew-up in Montgomery, and I have heard about Hank Williams my whole life, but this movie shone a light on things that are not often talked about there: his alcoholism, wandering eye, and even the…

Unfortunately, despite a knockout performance by lead Tom Hiddleston (who did his own singing), Marc Abraham’s biopic seems to skip a few chapters in Williams’ life resulting in an uneven mix of loose ends and blind alleys which not only…

Hank Williams is irreplaceable but this film is replaceable in ways. It does pay tribute to the late and great Hank Williams but the singing is off. His grandson Hank Williams III should've played the part with his voice and looks…

Great movie! Tom Hiddleston did an awesome job portraying such a musical legend as Hank Williams. I really appreciate that the movie focused on the telling of the story rather than exploiting all the rumours and gossip.

What a sad end for such a talented man. Tom Hiddleston was excellent, and I understand he sang the songs in the movie. I never realized Hank Williams died so young. I am surprised this movie did not get more acclaim. As good as the Patty…

Interesting biopic about Hank Sr. I had no idea his life was so short.

I loved this movie! I am 74 years old and I still remember hearing Hank Williams's songs on the old radio we had. And I couldn't believe that Tom Hiddleston sang all the songs. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loved the old…

I was not very familiar with Hank Williams before but now I am more curious about him. Tom Hiddleston is amazing in this role.

A story about the last Hank Williams. I enjoyed the story but I mostly enjoyed listening to his songs that were played. I have always enjoyed Hank Williams music.

Really? For a guy who recorded a substantial musical catalogue in a very short time, this film does nothing to reveal the effort he and his fellow musicians spent on recording his songs. Its primary focus is on Hank's marriage and his…

Saw where it was heading, wasn't interested.
