Hank Williams had an interesting life and an interesting career, shaping folk music into what we would call country music today. He lived hard, died young, and made some pretty good music along the way. Unfortunately, this movie didn't really show that. Instead, it wasted a perfectly good performance by Tom Hiddleston in which he had a series of fairly mundane conversations with different women. Then he died. The movie was short of drama and music, which is odd for a dramatic retelling of a musicians life.
To be fair, there have been some great music biopics out in the last year or so, such Get on Up, and Love and Mercy. This just didn't live up to those, either in narrative or performance.
