As a passion project by Don Cheadle, you can excuse this movie for being a bit indulgent. Clearly there's a lot of love for Miles Davis here, and this movie explores the history and life of the man. It does so in a very electric and unpredictable story telling way, that includes some nice visual touches as well. There's also a bit of that odd couple sense of humor of pairing up Cheadle with Ewan McGregor. Music courses through this film in a nice way too.
There are things to really like about this, but it can feel all over the place. I'd go as far and say that this might just feel like a chore to go through. Call it an artistic way of direction, but the movie can feel alienating to a general audience. Some might call it a bit pretentious as well. Then there are those who might just find this a bit boring.
If you're a fan of Miles Davis or Don Cheadle or Ewan McGregor, you've got reasons to see this movie. For everybody else, you won't be forgiven for skipping this.
