The value of zero

On the one hand Ethan Hawke's Blaze captures the American hillbilly world perfectly and on the other, it's a smooth and stylish biobic of an unknown yet legendary country western musician Blaze Foley. Hawke builds up the story of the singer-songwriter and the whole Outlaw Country genre nicely. How Blaze develops from a gifted young star to a drunken, selfish and mean-spirited bar musician, eventually to barely a name on a tombstone.
