Audience Member A great documentary about a great musician. What a genius. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Just enough information to intrigue, but not enough information to feel fulfilled. Better if you have a background in Mingus, or are watching with someone who does. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Some kind of explanation for him. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an excellent tribute to Mingus's extraordinary genius. While it treats his life (there's amazing footage of his early career) the focus is--as it should be--his work. The scene with Eric Dolphy is breathtaking. Also some great shots of Ellington and interviews with many musicians including John Handy and George Adams. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Only if you're interested in jazz. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
