Blaze

Memorable songs and striking cinematography dominate this engaging, factually based, well-acted, meandering-paced, star-studded (Charlie Sexton, Josh Hamilton, Richard Linklater, Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn, Kris Kristofferson, Ethan Hawke, Sybil Rosen, and Alynda Lee Segarra), 128-minute Ethan Hawke film adapted from Sybil Rosen's memoir Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze Foley that chronicles the tumultuous life and career of hard-drinking, talented, struggling country singer/songwriter/guitarist Blaze Foley (Ben Dickey), who died in Texas in 1989, and his love of his life and wannabe-actress waitress Sybil Rosen (Alia Shawkat).
