4.0 out of 5 stars Bix, June 4, 2002

By 

James F. (Norfolk, England.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bix [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Considering the complexities of the Bix Beiderbecke story and the time allowed within the confines of a feature film, I think that this is a reasonable attempt to educate and entertain anyone with an interest in the music of the period. It contains factual errors and a fair amount of poetic license but is also full of great recreations of musical performancies and the flavour of the 20's really does come across.
The flashback style used to tell the story is, at times, confusing but once accepted, does not spoil the enjoyment of a film that deserved a much wider release.
This is a must for Bix fans

1.0 out of 5 stars A very poor attempt., October 13, 2009

By 

Harry Oakley - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bix [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a completely failed attempt at creating a film about Bix Beiderbecke that even remotely touches on the real facts of his life - which are actually much more interesting than anything this film has to offer.
Some of the music is excellent but it is a recreation; nothing of the real Bix can be heard.
Finally, the actors do not look like the characters they are supposed to represent, least of all the guy playing Bix who does not resemble him whatsoever.
If you want to learn about the real Bix - then better not waste your money on this.

i am a fan of bix music so i was expecting a much better movie.however this flim jumps confusily around in time. alot of fictional stuff is added.plus the actor cast to play bix does not look anything like the real bix did. my someday a bix movie can be made that protrays him much better.
