I Saw the Light | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Strong performances aren't enough to make this more than a dreary flop that's only interested in playing one side of the record.

These are the sorts of important dramas and conflicts that a more serious work on Hank Williams' life and times might have raised. As it is, I Saw the Light is a pleasant film that does not go terribly deep.

Hiddleston is brilliant as the tortured country-western music legend. The script, on the other hand, is an episodic mess that is torture for the audience.

Hiddleston's singing and playing is to be admired, but there is a dull two hour film wrapped around it. Even the inevitable tragic ending left me cold, and it doesn't take much to get me crying at films. What a shame.
