The Craziest Thing About Song Sung Blue Is That It Happened

The new movie Song Sung Blue definitely explores some sad themes, and it’s actually even more melancholy than the title suggests. Based on a 2008 documentary, the film stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire Sardina, the couple who perform as the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder. While it’s ultimately an inspiring story about their unexpected success and lasting relationship, Song Sung Blue is surprisingly strange and complex. It features plenty of familiar biopic moments and great Neil Diamond songs, but also delves into some very unusual territory, ending in a way that’s reminiscent of films like Black Swan and All That Jazz.
