"All of the guitars in this movie were harmed."

One of the Best movies of the Decade, this should have been nominated for an Award, impressively lush cinematography, powerhouse performance from Ben Dickey in the lead role and a great script as well. I give this an A+ in my book and i've now added this on my "Greatest Movie" list. 👍👍

I have been waiting for this forever. His voice isn't as deep as Blaze's but I feel like the heart of the movie is still there. Thank you Ethan for making this film and opening up the world to the wonderful music and life of Blaze Foley. Without you and Mike Judge, hardly anyone would know who this man is. Thank you to Sundance as well for allowing us to finally catch a glimpse into what will be an outlaw's "Walk the Line".

Even though Blaze is somewhat new to me, Townes is not! I vividly recall seeing him in any number of places, not just "onstage" but hanging out...Houston, Ft. Worth, Austin. (In Colorado now) which has nothing to do with anything except I miss a lot of news from back home! I lived in all of those places or just outside of. Anyhow, your comment is more than enough!!! Thank you for your straight, to the point comment!

Just saw this movie and had the pleasure of hearing Sybil, Ethan and the actors that played Blaze and Townes in the movie speak about their experience making it. So glad to have learned a little bit about him and his story and be introduced to his beautiful music! Thank you, Sybil for sharing your story and Ethan for making this sweet and beautiful film. ❤️

To those here being extraordinarily negative about a film they've not even seen, and pissing on the very idea of bringing Blaze's life to film, hey, please how about you all cultivate your own personal obscurity and pursuit thereof? Blaze Foley was a one-off. Nothing can dilute his music. It is timeless. It should be known throughout the world, period. If you have a set of soup cans connected with string, and are talking directly to Blaze, as you seem to know his mind, heart, and soul better than he himself ever did, ASK HIM WHY HE BOTHERED TRYING TO GET SONGS RECORDED. ASK HIM WHY HE SUBMITTED TO BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AND VIDEO-RECORDED. ASK HIM WHY HE PERFORMED IN PUBLIC BEFORE STRANGERS. Finally, ask him how he felt when he first learned that Willie or John or Merle covered his songs and that big record deal was inked? Then, kindly ride off into the dusty beyond. Thanks.

Mary Dean I love you, Mary Dean. Thank you for being part of a time and scene that will never come again. Blaze's music - more like a soul set to melody, so true and pure that you can almost touch it - shook me to my core when I first encountered it. Most moving of all is that someone with that much talent never quite finished his journey. He did, but we can only wonder at what might have been. His life story made me look at my own, made me want to keep trying, keep pushing. Peace and goodness to you, Mary Dean.💞

Rosie Wildman I also watched it on a plane, from LAX to Honolulu. Had never heard of Blaze Foley, but damn do I know him now. This was a great film.

I thought Townes was played poorly and his buddy, even though he sorta favoured him. Ditto for Foley but favoured him less. This was written almost as condensed stabs at deep thought and most people aren't normally so heavy and correct at the same time assuming he was right in his ramblings. I could be missing a fuse, but... this film wants to be bigger than it is. I like Blaze's music.

Seems like some of the greatest and most brilliant people has the most tragic stories. I love his music, I resently found him and he really is a hidden gem!

when I went to a movie theater and walked in around the middle of this trailer I freaked out and knew it was about blaze. more people should learn about him.

An amazing songwriter. It is time for his light to shine.

I didn't think that I'd get to see this film, there are only multiplexes near us in rural north GA. But by happenstance, my wife and I were headed home on my birthday out on the town in Atlanta and a more or less wrong turn took us by an art cinema and it was on the marquee. My wife checked her phone and the next start was in 30 minutes. Thanks, Universe; well worth the ticket, for me anyway.

Been listening to Blaze on and off for a couple of years, but loads more this year and decided to watch this movie tonight. A great film. It's hard to find a really good film these days but this was really well made with good acting and I thought it was a great way to tell the story of the man's career and life.

I think this is going to be really good. People should be happy that movies like this can even exist.

Moonlight song is my favorite song of his. I love blaze foley. I found him by chance from someone playing Pandora randomly one night. It was clay pigeons and it sounded like a ghost singing to me. From that i got hooked on blaze. Blaze led me to townes and guy clark and John prine. This movie better be damn good 😁 much love.

Really excited to see this. Incredible trailer. Blaze was a beautiful soul

I find it really interesting that this biopic shares the title of the biopic about the woman who inspired half of his stage name. Blaze Starr ❤️

Amazing! Can't wait for this movie! Love Blaze Foley!

******This movie must be amazing. I love these soaked in despair, love and music movies about a musicians which the society failed to call them by their rightful name as Legends. But really my biggest hope is that one of these days, and i'm prepared to wait for even more years for that, some good director to made a movie about the life and music of the greatest bard with a guitar Townes Van Zandt.

I never heard of him but really want to see the movie.

I'm very excited about this movie. I know sybill helped with the movie and was there in the early years of deputy and beginnings of blaze... She was not with him the last 10yrs of his life and never ever seen him again after.. I hope it's not all about the love story crap... Much more happened and I hope they capture more than just her story with him.. Either way I am very happy for this!!!

39 year old legend......LOVE BLAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful. Music seems to be coming around back to MELODY. Missing for so long... And acoustic sound. Digital leaves so much to be desired. Raised on analog and grateful for tubes in the Magnavox, big ole woofers and tweeters. Bring it all back home, Blaze...

He died protecting the honor of another man...can't get to much more of a folk hero than that.

You should take some psilocybin mushrooms or some LSD and kill that ego. I get where you're coming from. You feel that the more people who discover his music, the more it becomes diluted by the mainstream. But look at it from another perspective. It's directed by Ethan Hawke. From the interviews I've seen in which he's been promoting this movie, he seems genuinely passionate about Blaze Foley and his music. The actor playing Blaze seems as though he did a very good job in portraying him. Plus the actor is a real musician himself. Everything we are is a composite of who we've known and who has inspired us throughout our lives. The same with Blaze, the same with you. People will see this movie, discover Blaze's music, and become inspired by it. I'm sure that's what he wanted. If he truly said he wanted to become a legend, then he has to be more widely known.

good

Looks like a life insurance commercial, I'm all for a Blaze movie but that blurry over stylization looks so distracting
