Ethan Hawke is mesmerizing as Lorenz Hart a man forced to come to grips with the reality that despite his beautiful words, no one is listening to him any more. The film acts as both an ars poetica and the tragic downfall of a once highly-respected artist. The story is simple, the characters are few, the dialogue and performances are what really drive the film.

**the heart is quicker than the eye, the head has nothing to do with the madness of love. and… it doesn’t matter at all about worthiness, does it? we invest our hearts in worthless stocks and we know they’re worthless, but we cling to them like little children clutching their little stuffed bears.** i need more bar movies.
Great performance from Ethan Hawke, a repetitive but interesting film, set on the same spot for the whole movie. Great acting overall Love the Casablanca references
