Ethan Hawke stars in the role of Chet Baker in this remarkably creative reimagining of the legendary jazz trumpeter's struggle to overcome his demons and stage a comeback.

 

“Ethan Hawke is at his very best in Born to be Blue, a deeply felt and profoundly moving depiction of the relationship between art and addiction.” – We Got This Covered

​

“A soulful performance... I could absolutely see Hawke's performance garnering attention from Gotham Independent Film Awards and Independent Spirit Awards voters, if not members of the Academy.”

– Hollywood Reporter
