Ranking the Best Performances From Ethan Hawke So Far
Ethan Hawke is, somehow, an underrated actor, despite continually doing impressive work. Whether it’s with longtime collaborator Richard Linklater or not, he’s incapable of not putting forth performances that blow people away, even if it hasn’t yet translated into an Oscar win.

Film Review: ‘Black Phone 2’ is a Supernatural Sequel That Takes the Horror Franchise in a New Direction
Three years ago, The Black Phone (reviewed here) made a real impression by being the rare horror film to feel both grounded and fantastical.

TV Review: Ethan Hawke’s Scrappy Charm Makes ‘The Lowdown’ a Knockdown Quest For Truth

Telluride Film Festival Review: Ethan Hawke Pays Tribute to Merle Haggard With ‘Highway 99: A Double Album’
Merle Haggard is a country music legend, one who had a life worthy of the big screen treatment. A Hollywood biopic would make a lot of sense, though Ethan Hawke sees things differently. He sees his life and his music as a roadmap, one he follows alongside a who’s who of the music industry. Much […] More

Film Review: ‘Wildcat’ Finds Ethan Hawke and Maya Hawke Trying to Embody Flannery O’Connor
Flannery O’Connor is an author people tend to know of, as opposed to know well. That alone makes her an interesting subject for a biopic, though it also makes for an opportunity.
