It's a biopic of Blaze Foley (Ben Dickey). Zee (Josh Hamilton) and Townes Van Zandt (Charlie Sexton) are being interviewed as they recount stories about Blaze. He is a singer-songwriter in the Texas outlaw music. He live in the woods with his girlfriend Sybil Rosen (Alia Shawkat).
This is written and directed by Ethan Hawke and adapted from a biography from Sybil Rosen. It's an outsider film or mumblecore or whatever indie subgenre despite some great actors doing minor roles. Kris Kristofferson is apparently making his last movie in this. I don't know anything about this singer or this type of music. Country is not my jam. It got interesting with the Jewish family and quickly told about the divorce. Before that, it's a slow meandering journey. After that, I am intrigued with the couple's eventual breakup. That is a more compelling driving force for the story than anything about his music.
