Ratings and reviews

I saw the light is missing a lot of Hank's life highlights and low lights. This movie never grabs the viewer. Though Tom Hiddleston is perfect to portray Hank as is Elizabeth Olsen as Audrey. This movie has great actors, it's just a shame that the story of Hank Williams life wasn't told to it's full potential. This movie tells a mediocre story at best. The soundtrack is still musical gold. As a lover of bio pics I feel this one is a let down.

Worts and all... great story.
