Born to Be Blue is a 2015 Canadian-British biographical drama film written, coproduced and directed by Robert Budreau. It stars Ethan Hawke, Carmen Ejogo, Callum Keith Rennie, Janet-Laine Green and Stephen McHattie. It was shown in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. The film is about American jazz musician Chet Baker, portrayed by Hawke. The film has been described as "semi-factual, semi-fictional". Variety's reviewer, Andrew Barker, noted that the film is "about a character who happens to share a name and a significant number of biographical similarities with Chet Baker, taking the legendary West Coast jazz musician's life as though it were merely a chord chart from which to launch an improvised set of new melodies".
