What Blue Song about?

Based on the amazing true story of lightning and thunder, Neil Diamond’s cover band, Blue Song follows Mike and Claire Sardina (Jackman and Hudson) as a married musical couple. “Together they create electrifying chemistry, rousing song numbers, and a love story about the power of an extreme car,” writes Mashable’s Kristy Puchko. Ultimately, it tells the story of how love and music can help us overcome grief and trauma. Bring the tissue.

Is it Blue Song is it worth watching?

If you’re a Neil Diamond fan, of course Blue Song it’s worth watching. If not, you’ll probably still like it. It currently has a strong 78 percent critic rating and a 97 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

“All of this makes for an interesting movie that can be surprisingly powerful, because bad moments can come out of nowhere. (C’est la vie!) But like a great Neil Diamond song, Blue Song it will find its way into your heart, where it will stay,” Puchko wrote in his review.

We named it one of our favorite movies of 2025, crediting the thoughtful storytelling, amazing cast, and “a well-chosen soundtrack that sets the theme of Diamond’s songs.” Hudson was honored with a nod at the Golden Globes for Best Performance by Female Actor in a Motion Picture and was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2026 Oscars.
