Song Sung Blue
Based on an incredible true story, Mike (Hugh Jackman) and Claire (Kate Hudson) are two down-on-their-luck musicians who prove that it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams. They form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band called Lightning and Thunder, rising from a humble garage to dive bar gigs to unexpected hometown stardom. When tragedy strikes, their love for each other and passion for music give them the strength to overcome hardships, rediscover hope, and inspire everyone around them.
Reviewer Derrick Dunn writes: One thing that my friends and family will tell you about me is that I love a good musical biopic. Now and then, one catches you off guard, plays a familiar tune, and then strikes a chord that resonates deeply. “Song Sung Blue” from Focus Features and directed by Craig Brewer, who also pens the script, is one of those films.
The emotional moments hit hard because, after all, what great musical biopic doesn’t come with its share of tragedy? Knowing that much of their story is based on real experiences enhances the film’s impact rather than diminishing it. You won’t leave the theater humming just “Sweet Caroline”; you’ll walk away thinking about the people who sing along to it as a way to hold themselves together.
