Audience Member Super in depth and thorough, although they kind of dismiss his later stuff as rubbish, which it isn't, just an acquired taste. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member it should have lasted at least 5 hrs to cover the topic decently. but it's a nice starting point in getting to know Miles' life work Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member They seemed to have breezed through lots of particularly important phases in his life, but it's common in Biography-style documentaries like this. Don't expect much out of the ordinary: lots of good footage, a straightforward approach to telling Miles' life story, and an amusing interview or two. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting but lacks in getting up close with miles himselves, but thats of course understandable due to the nature of things.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Could have been a lot better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member As documentaries go on lives of musicians, this is a better example. He was a complicated, self aborbed and self-serving person as those that loved him tried to explain in both their love and despair of him, however Mile's music was complicated and beautiful and that is where his personality was revealed - it WAS who he was. There are most wonderful video clips of him playing from the 40s on through to just before he died in the 90s to be enjoyed. He wowed 'em his whole life - brilliant. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
