The performances were top notch. Tom Hiddleston is way better looking and can sing way better than Hank Williams ever could. The songs were Hank Williams' art, not his voice. Tom Hiddleston does have a resemblance to Hank Williams and I can see why he was tapped to play this role. He was excellent. The down side is, the script and the direction, I just didn't have any compassion for the character. I thought that Elizabeth Olsen was very good as well, but again, no compassion. I found myself not caring about what happend to any of the characters. That is a fault that lays with writer and the director. This should have been a way better movie than it was. I kept thinking of "Coal Miner's Daughter" that explored both the private and public life of Loretta Lynn and how well done that whole project was.
