This one was slashed by most of the critics, but Tom Hiddleston's portrayal is worth the admission. More than worth it IMHO.
Most pundits hated the disjointed editing, the way the film dwelt on Hank's personal failings & largely ignored his many great years of acclaim.
Hiddleston does his own singing, here's an sample, a highlight for me (excuse the Spanish (I think) at the front of this clip)...
(He/they slightly re-style the music for a modern audience, more soulful, less hokey, than 1950s Hank.)
