    One of the best movies I have seen in a long time

    One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. This is such a touching and tragic story with a brilliant cast and performance. If you know of Blaze Foley or his music, watch the movie and revisit what you do know about this amazing man. Sybil Rosen, and Ethan Hawke especially, thank you for sharing this story and film with the world.
