In the 1950s, Chet Baker (Ethan Hawke) was one of the most famous trumpeters in the world, renowned as both a pioneer of the West Coast jazz scene and an icon of cool. By the 1960s, he was all but washed up, his career and personal life in shambles due to years of addiction. Creatively blending fact with fiction and driven by Hawke’s virtuoso performance, Born to Be Blue unfolds at a key moment in the 1960s, just as Baker attempts to stage a hard-fought comeback, spurred in part by a passionate romance with a new flame (Carmen Ejogo).

I don't really evaluate the movie, which, however, quite interestingly captures a part of one person who simply couldn't get rid of drugs and maybe couldn't even sell his talent as best as possible. However, I mainly evaluate Ethan Hawke, who has established himself as a truly great actor, who seems to be able to play absolutely anything.
