My Review: About women travelling to other countries (Ireland to England) for an abortion, seen one year after SCOTUS's Dobbs decision causing women in the USA to do the same between states.

IMDb says, "Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 600 characters."

Dear IMDb: The current Featured User Review (below*) is 217 characters short of your required minimum. So, how was that accepted while this one isn't?

*"At the first sigh, a short film about abortion. In essence, only inspired portrait of three women, different but keeping same pain . A delicate art to reflect the truth defines this admirable film. A not comfortable theme, good performances, significant message about wisdom, angry, fear, the perception of the other and the peace with yourself. The result - just profound beautiful."

I remember when Blaze Foley died. As an Austin resident, his murder and funeral were covered in the local newspaper. It was a bit of a big deal. He was only 39.

In this film, Blaze (born Michael David Fuller in Malvern, Arkansas) is portrayed by fellow Arkansan, musician-actor Ben Dickey, from Little Rock. Dickey represents Blaze and his music to perfection.

Charlie Sexton, older brother to Will, both local guitar legends, plays Blaze's late friend, Townes Van Zandt, and also serves as principal narrator of Blaze's life in the years of Blaze's professional life covered by the film.

Also herein, 'Blaze' and 'Townes' perform the worst duet of Townes's most famous song, "Pancho and Lefty," that I've ever heard as they're both drunk on stage in a bar.

On a bright side, director Ethan Hawke did a superb job of capturing the mood and atmosphere of Austin and Texas in those days as I remember them.

Blaze's ex/widow, Sybil Rosen, is portrayed in the movie by Alia Shawkat. There's a photo of them both together at an event for the movie in IMDb's photo collection for this entry.
