Hawke is endearingly tender: His boyish quality, layered beneath a level of helplessness, makes Baker's struggle so real, it's nearly as heartbreaking as Baker's rendition of "My Funny Valentine"
brilliantly acted by Hawke and fluidly written and directed by Robert Budreau, the film plays riffs on Baker's life without adhering to facts or formula
