Insider’s tip: “It’s in the music that I Saw the Light best demonstrates how a tormented man named Hank Williams revolutionized the essence of country songs into a joy embraced by millions” (Rex Reed, New York Observer). Marjorie Baumgarten of the Austin Chronicle adds: “British actor Hiddleston transcendently captures the sound of Williams’ voice and his performative swagger. . . .” Whether you are or are not a country music fan, this story of Hank Williams and his place in country music is well worth watching.
