March 31, 1943. The opening night of the musical "Oklahoma!" on Broadway, the first collaboration between Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein (lyrics). At the bar of Sardi's restaurant sits Lorenz Hart, until a moment ago Rodgers' artistic partner; together they wrote several big hits. As the audience spills from the theatre into the restaurant, Hart has to deal with the praise and rave reviews his former partner is reaping, and try to carve out a professional and romantic future for himself. Witty dialogue, a dynamic camera, Ethan Hawke in a nuanced performance (alongside a brilliant ensemble), all brought together by Richard Linklater in his cool directing style into a touching drama that looks with a blend of compassion and sobriety at an artist in crisis.
