Rating: 3.5/5 --
It's a lengthy, inebriating, and casually funny experience that didn't fall into the usual traps of biographical films.

More than a biography about a cursed aura composer and performer, Blaze is a love song to the country & western. [Full Review in Spanish]

Hawke tells Foley's story with heart and style, and that's going to make Blaze Foley even more of a legend, and deservedly so.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
Hawke pieces together an impressive and thought-provoking tribute with a Texas-sized heart and the kind of performances that awards are made for. Even when you know what's coming, Blaze haunts you like a classic country song.

BLAZE, which leaps around in time, telling Blaze Foley’s story by zeroing in on a handful of disparate moments, is beautifully made. It’s an organic slice of life...

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Dickey would have made a strong impression regardless. But it turns out he can act, and sing, and has a genuine magnetism that combines with an endearing quality to create a highly appealing screen presence.

Hawke argues movingly that creative success has nothing to do with fame and everything to do with how an artist grows as a person and impacts the people around him.
