An offensive and inaccurate portrayal of Jimi Hendrix and 1960s London

By Kathy Etchingham on February 7, 2015

Format: DVD

The theatregoer hoping to get some insight into Jimi Hendrix and London in 1966/67 will leave the theatre disappointed or duped by the film makers.
Before seeing the film I was apprehensive, as I had been told that my character was portrayed in a derogatory and potentially defamatory manner. I had been told that Jimi had beaten me with a telephone in the film and after I had protested that this was not true the film makers had replied that it was true because they had “thoroughly researched” me.
In other words they were saying that they were telling the truth and I was not.
During the opening scenes I found it difficult to comprehend the way the story was unfolding, or what it was depicting. The editing was disjointed and dialogue was layered on top of alternate dialogue, seemingly from a parallel conversation.
The film progressed in a confusing and dull manner but there was one scene that gave me a momentary lift of anticipation. The scene depicts Jimi playing with Cream at the London Polytechnic Students’ Union and should have set out to depict an absolutely epic event that I had witnessed. (I had been carrying Jimi’s guitar).
I hoped that they would do Jimi justice in their interpretation of what happened.
Unfortunately, once the music started, my heart sank. What a disappointment. Not only was it insulting to Jimi’s legacy, but I would say it was fairly insulting to Eric Clapton as well because the real Eric Clapton would never have been in awe of the unremarkable performance presented to viewers in this film.
The storyline progressed in an awkward and illogical way and was hard to comprehend.Read more ›

Crimes Against Logic, Reasoning and Entertainment!

By Leggyladyus on January 23, 2015

Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase

I’m so freakin’ PISSED that I wasted time watching this movie about Jimi Hendrix! The ONLY “silver lining”(if it could be termed that) in watching this major storm cloud of crap is in how well Andre(3000)Benjamin embodied the look and demeanor of Jimi Hendrix. It’s a total shame that his artistic talent was wasted on such a poorly written screenplay. The constant, purposeless, barely audible dialogue that was supposed to serve a kind of “artistic” filming element was irritating to say the least, but perhaps it was necessary for it to be barely audible due to the poor quality of the screenwriting. WHOEVER wrote it was on some bullblip!! The factual accuracy or integrity concerning the life of Jimi was woefully absent; It failed to even scratch the surface of the key pivotal moments in his life that assisted in making him the giant that he was. The writer of the screenplay also didn’t fail in projecting some of the most negative stereotypes of black men and women either; heck the white ones, too! The black women were complaining, dream squashers and conniving, backstabbing sinister bytches not to be trusted and of course Jimi was portrayed as a parasitic user and woman beater who could really wield a telephone like a well-trained super-pimp. Oh…and let me not fail to leave out the weak, helpless in need of rescue white women, SMH….and the portrayal of Eric Clapton was egregious! Whoever wrote this screenplay needs to be brought before a tribunal of The Screenwriters Guild for crimes against logic, reasoning and entertainment and have their membership revoked until they complete some required coursework.

Great actor stuck in a poorly written film

By handmadepasta on January 27, 2015

Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase

Movie gets one star instead of 0 because of Andre Benjamin; Great actor stuck in a poorly written film. Good thing you cant hear 3/4 of the dialogue because the quarter you can hear is simply dreadful. They could not even get the musical angle right; to mess that with Jimi is like missing hitting a cow in a hallway;

Jimi deserved better.

So disappointing! As a huge Hendrix fan, I think this movie had promise but never delivered.

By Nick6684 on January 20, 2015

Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase

So disappointing! As a huge Hendrix fan, I think this movie had promise but never delivered. I wanted to like it, but even though the acting was good, the story was very poor. Also the lack of actual Jimi Hendrix music was very disappointing. This could have been a Lifetime TV movie at best...not worth paying money to see it.

Horrible interpretation of the late great James Marshall Hendrix

By Taylor Brown on March 22, 2015

Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase

Horrible interpretation of the late great James Marshall Hendrix. Movie in its self is great. Screenplay, editing, and all is very good but the material about Jimi is sickening and just down right wrong. He was definetly not a woman beater. Andre 3000 did a phenominal job though and potrayed him to a T with mannerisms and guitar playing was impressive. Im an adamant Hendrix fanatic and it makes me nausea the way he is portrayed. About 80% of the film is false. The clapton scene was spot on and the part where he hated when the black people tried to pit him against white people was authentic. Jimi hated racism, from every angle and perspective. I DO NOT recommend this motion picture to anyone. Especially if its the first time you've watched anything about Jimi Hendrix. It will most definetly give you the wrong impression about the greatest guitarist of all time

I Felt It Was Worth Watching

By Karl Weaver on November 10, 2015

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

Jimi: All Is By My Side XLRator Media 2013 Rated R DVD version
I don’t know why it took so long to make a documentary about Jimi Hendrix. It ostensibly covers just about one year in his life, 1966-67, from his “discovery” by Keith Richards’s girlfriend, being brought to London, signed up with a manager, given a decent backup band, until just before his return to the United States to play at the Monterey Pop music festival, However through the use of some archival photographs and flashbacks we see brief glimpses of his earlier life. So although the film is mostly linear in narrative, it makes use of flashbacks, voiceovers and complex transitions to give a slightly psychedelic feel, suitable to the era. If you’re hoping to see a lot of Hendrix performing on stage, this is not really the movie for you. The multi-disc documentary of the Monterey pop festival is a good place to start for that. This is a more personal look at his life, which as with many of our cultural icons isn’t always pretty. There are brief snatches of Hendrix-like music throughout, but the longest continual piece of music comes at the end, which is a good portion of “Wild Thing”.
Although there are a number of important figures in his life in this London year, the central dyad of the film has to be Hendrix and Linda (Imogen Poots) and perhaps the dramatic peak of the film is an argument between the two of them in which she says something like, “You know you can’t just rely on your genius…”
Boy, most of the reviewers hated this movie. I didn’t think it was bad. Let’s consider some of the criticisms: 1. It does not depict the truth. Yes, it’s a “docu-drama”, so you can’t necessarily tell from watching it where truth leaves off and fiction intrudes. But the overall takeoff of his career seems accurate. 2.Read more ›
