Film review: Song Sung Blue
Jason Wright looks at the new Song Sung Blue film…
Song Sung Blue is a warm, heartfelt music drama powered by the effortlessly natural chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. Together, they create a partnership that feels genuine, tender, and deeply human — the kind of on-screen connection that carries a film from start to finish.
Jackman is quietly compelling, bringing vulnerability and sincerity, while Hudson shines with warmth and emotional openness. Their scenes together feel lived-in rather than performed, grounding the film in authenticity. The use of Neil Diamond’s music is gentle and purposeful, enhancing the story without overwhelming it.
If you enjoyed The Greatest Showman, chances are you’re going to like this too — not for spectacle, but for its emotional pull and musical heart.
Viewer note:
The film touches on themes of emotional struggle and vulnerability. Those affected by depression or sensitive to such themes should approach with personal care.
Verdict:
A compassionate, uplifting film led by outstanding chemistry and quiet emotional power.
