I'll go see that with you if you go see this with me (note the emphasis on EVERY human emotion).
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Actor Don Cheadle takes Miles Davis' fearless attitude to heart in his directorial debut: a non-linear story about the trumpet player. Jazz fans may be thrown by the decision to focus on Davis in the 1970s, "Superfly" phase of his career.
When we meet him, Davis is a recluse who's strung out on drugs and fighting with his label over studio sessions. While pairing Cheadle up with Ewan McGregor (playing a Rolling Stone reporter) feels like a contrivance, what rings true are the film's snapshots from Davis' career.
Cheadle edits it all together in a fitting, improvisational style that skips from moment to moment: in the studio with Gil Evans, locking eyes with dancer Francis Taylor or running a nervous finger over his dry lips.
