Leave your thoughts about I Saw the Light.
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonHiddleston's performance desperately tries to keep "I Saw the Light" afloat, but it can't overcome some serious problems in the film's screenplay and direction. |
| The PlaylistNoel MurrayAbraham the writer lets down Abraham the director, and ultimately lets down his stars and Spinotti, too. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyWilliams is never shown composing; if characters didn't occasionally mention it, you'd never know he was a songwriter, let alone one of the all-time American greats. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyI Saw the Light is pretty, slick, and empty -- three words that don't describe its subject. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughTom Hiddleston puts in a performance as Williams that ranks with that of Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash in “I Walk the Line.” And Hiddleston gets to do it in a better movie. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoThere's a tear in my beer, for sure, after seeing the Hank Williams biopic "I Saw the Light," a too simple a portrait of a complex man. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamThere's no pop to the story, no excitement; instead of a Williams concert, it's like hearing his songs faintly in the background on a diner jukebox. There's more punch in an obituary of the singer than there is here. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereStandard biopic stuff, but strong cast. Loki can sing (and play). |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... like a movie about the life of Christ that elides the miracles. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThis surface-level look at the tragic life and career of 1950s country music icon Hank Williams hits some nice notes but overall lacks insight and passion. |
