LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 23: Sam Jones, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires and Colin Hanks arrive at the Los Angeles premiere of HBO’s “Jason Isbell: Running With Our Eyes Closed” at The GRAMMY Museum on March 23, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. Jones, the director, found that there were some parallels between this and a previous celebrated film of his, 2002’s “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco.
At a reception after the screening, Shires established that it was an uncomfortable sit for her, just as much as it was for her husband. “It wasn’t fun for me to revisit those things. But at the same time, now that it’s over and we played music, the music part felt like a renewal,” she said, referring to an extended performance that she, Isbell and guitarist Sadler Vaden did for the Grammy Museum crowd after the film.
The film effectively explores how difficult it is to have the stereotypical intensity of an artist while trying to juggle personal relationships amid that concentration.
