Reviews for this film from our members:
- Chris Barsanti @ Film Journal International
- Excerpt: John Ridley’s fractured and narrowcast, unauthorized Jimi Hendrix biopic (read: no Hendrix compositions) wrongly assumes that André Benjamin’s intuitive inhabiting of the musician’s skittish soul will entice audiences as much as it does the women around him.
- Nicholas Bell @ IONCINEMA.com
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A quirky and appealing glimpse into the life and guitar virtuosity of Jimi Hendrix.
- Travis Hopson @ Examiner
- Excerpt: All is By My Side amounts to a series of imagined conversations, with Andre Benjamin struggling to hold our attention through them.
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- [New – 1/15/15] | Aaron Pinkston @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: It is an odd duck as a biopic that is much more style than substance.
- Bev Questad @ It’s Just Movies
- Excerpt: Ridley’s film is a shocking biopic starring André Benjamin – who becomes Hendrix. From the soft voice, skinny body, and constant gum chewing to the groundbreaking guitar work, Benjamin pegs the Hendrix we all loved.
- Ron Wilkinson @ MonstersandCritics.com
- Excerpt: A powerful look at the crucial years in an artist’s trajectory when the thrill of success begins to yield to the curse of fame.
