	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] is beautifully made. It’s an organic slice of life — raw and untidy, deceptively aimless but always exploratory (...) Hawke has made the ultimate hipster movie."
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Ben Dickey makes an affecting acting debut in a deeply felt portrait (...) 'Blaze' is more affecting than most other live-hard/die-ugly music biopics"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A tribute to artistic integrity — and the best music biopic of the year (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"I can't imagine a better way for the world to meet Foley than Hawke’s film (...) The greatest magic of 'Blaze', however, comes from the romance it presents between Foley and Sybil"
		Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"A soulful, exquisitely textured portrait (...) 'Blaze' has the ardor of Foley's music and the winningly relaxed vibe of a great hangout movie."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A messy requiem for a ramblin man, highlighted by Benjamin Dickey's incredible turn as Blaze Foley (...) Foley tends to slip away from us as the movie goes on."
		Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Ethan Hawke beautifully honors a doomed musician (...) [Hawke] is on one of the most charmed and well-deserved rolls of his career"
		Jordan Ruimy The Playlist	"A film that rambles, scrambles, fights its way to the finish line, exactly the way its subject would have wanted it to be"
		Javier Ocaña Diario El País	" (...) Rating: 0 (out of 5)"
