Blue Moon is clever and witty  but too often stagey
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"There are few genres that the American filmmaker Richard Linklater hasn't sunk his teeth into. He's made romantic dramas in the form of the Before trilogy, surrealist animated films for adults such as Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly, and some of the most immortal coming-of-age movies in recent memory, among them Dazed and Confused, Slacker, Boyhood and School of Rock."
The Independent deploys reporters to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries to illuminate key issues. The outlet emphasizes delivering free access to reporting by avoiding paywalls and requesting donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and balanced sourcing. Richard Linklater's new film Blue Moon is presented as a smaller entry in his body of work. Ethan Hawke gives a fine, quirky and courageous performance as Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart. The film opens with Hart collapsing in 1943 and flashes back to the premiere of Oklahoma!, but the production often feels stagey and stilted.
