Movie Monday: The Hottest State
The Hottest State was written and directed by Ethan Hawke, and it was based on Hawke's novel of the same name. It is about a young actor in New York and his relationship with a sing/songwriter. The cast includes: Mark Webber, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Ethan Hawke, Laura Linney, and Michelle Williams. The film has not received the best reviews from critics, but you can watch the trailer below and decide if it's something that you would like to see.
While the film has not received the best reviews, the soundtrack has gotten nothing but praise. It features songs of Jesse Harris performed by such artists as Willie Nelson, Bright Eyes, Feist, M. Ward, Emmylou Harris, Cat Power, Norah Jones, Rocha, and Jesse Harris himself. This is an impressive soundtrack that I would rank up there with some of my other favorites like Garden State and Singles. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with this album.
