| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasFeaturing a mesmerizing central performance by Ben Dickey, "Blaze" avoids the clichés of the traditional biopic, instead creating a mood piece that feels like living inside one of Foley's songs, in all its beauty and sadness. |
| ObserverOliver JonesAlong with Dickey’s equally feral and vulnerable performance, what stands out most in Blaze is just how fully formed and realized Hawke’s vision is as a filmmaker. |
| AwardsCircuit.comKaren M. PetersonBen Dickey is phenomenal in his first film. He is quite a find and embraces the role of care and compassion. It is a film that proves Ethan Hawke is as good off screen as he is on. |
| The Victoria AdvocateJoe FriarEthan Hawke brings the life of underrated musician Blaze 'Deputy Dog'Foley to the big screen with Arkansas native Benjamin Dickey in the lead role. The result is one of the most authentic films about Texas that flawlessly captures the Austin music scene. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordEthan Hawke shows enormous talent as a filmmaker and proves it here, especially with a tour-de-force debut by Ben Dickey as Foley. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Marisa MirabalEthan Hawke delivers a unique musical biopic in true Texas fashion. |
| Film InquiryAlex LinesThis isn't so much a rags to riches story as it's a rags to more rags morality tale, examining the flaws within the country singer that prevented him from becoming a headliner, a failure that this memoir hopes to re-correct. |
| Geek Girl AuthorityKimberly PierceThe musical period piece is not only a visual work of art, but the feature film manage often raft moments of true poetry throughout its carefully executed musical sequences. |
| The PlaylistJordan RuimyOverall, this is astute, fascinating filmmaking from Hawke who believes the small details are all part of the bigger picture, the deeper experience of knowing who Blaze Foley was. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzIt’s the kind of movie that, if you give yourself to it, you’ll love. |
