As a big fan of both Townes and Blaze, I knew Ethan Hawke would the perfect person to direct this, if not Linklater (who surprisingly was in the film!) You can tell he knows his Texas history down to a science and really treats the story with care and passion. It was honestly better than the 6.5 rating led me to believe. The acting from everyone was great and engaging. You could tell the budget was not huge but you wouldn't even have wanted it to be anyways with a story about a Blaze Foley. The lead actor also did an excellent job both singing and acting and really gave a great performance. Definitely recommend checking this out for any Blaze fans.
