Oh Lord! Oh Ethan Hawke! The preformaces are so excellent. Ethan is so magical in his madness. It's beautifull. The start of this show was amazing. It makes you invested in the story immediately. In the middle it slow down a bit, but if you got throught it rewards you with an amazing, heart- wrenching finale.
Guided by a steady adaptation from veteran screenwriter Mark Richard and a gripping performance from Hawke, this filmed version is a rollicking good time, a lovely complement to McBride’s literary achievement that should drive more readers to the book.
