Tender, funny, and disarmingly sincere, Song Sung Blue tells the true story of a working-class couple who weather life’s setbacks without ever letting go of a shared dream—even when that dream feels barely alive. What could have played as sugary nostalgia instead becomes something grounded and genuinely moving, thanks to Craig Brewer’s warm direction and the irresistible pull of Neil Diamond’s music. Anchored by perfectly matched performances from Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson (in her most soulful work in years), the film is a feel-good crowd-pleaser that earns its emotion honestly and sends audiences out on a high note.

Set against the charged political atmosphere of 1970s Brazil, The Secret Agent follows a quiet, unassuming man whose attempt to disappear into anonymity is slowly undone by the forces closing in around him. As surveillance tightens and loyalties blur, what begins as a story of secrecy and self-preservation becomes a tense examination on power, resistance, and the cost of living under constant watch. Anchored by Wagner Moura’s riveting, deeply internal performance, the film simmers with intelligence and dread, revealing its power in the spaces between words.
