BLAZE is more affecting than most other live-hard/die-ugly music biopics.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 5/5 --
An affectionate, honest portrait that interrogates our need to deify dead icons, while carving out a space in music history long left vacant for Foley to fill.

One Room With A View
4 stars out of 5 -- Instead of following biopic blueprints, Hawke directs BLAZE like a Foley song: artful, all over the place and possessed of enough blunt truth and aching tenderness to pull you up short.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3.5/5 --
It's a lengthy, inebriating, and casually funny experience that didn't fall into the usual traps of biographical films.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
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.

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

El Pais (Spain)
3.5 stars out of 4 -- At its best, BLAZE feels like a cinematic translation of not just Blaze Foley’s life but his music, anchored by two incredibly likable, lived-in performances.
