Blaze

2018 · 129 min

A tender, rambling elegy that drifts between memory and song, leaving a quiet ache for a life half-celebrated.

Tagline: Based on a true Texas love story
Overview: Inspired by the life of Blaze Foley, the unsung songwriting legend of the Texas outlaw country movement that spawned the likes of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. The film weaves together three periods in Blaze's life, exploring his love affair with Sybil Rosen; his last, dark night on Earth; and the impact his songs and his death had on his fans, friends, and foes.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, earnest and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Music, love, memory, grief
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
