Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 12 Apr 2016

Don Cheadle makes his directorial debut with a musicality befitting his subject while also delivering a career best performance…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 11 Apr 2016

Not everyone will agree with how Cheadle answers the key questions, but only a fool would say his take lacks creativity, heart, energy, and…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 08 Apr 2016

Even when 'Miles Ahead' is going off the rails, at least you're not sure where it's going next-which is more than can be said for most films…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Sandie Angulo Chen (751) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 07 Apr 2016

Cheadle shines in dark, labor-of-love biopic of Miles Davis…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 07 Apr 2016

Cheadle's portrayal is right in step with Davis' paranoia and almost psychotic personality. His scenes with McGregor are vastly entertaining…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Jim Judy (1,199) for Screen It! (1,437) on 07 Apr 2016

I found it okay, but at no point did any of it blow me away. (Parental Content Review - Sex, Profanity, etc. - Also Available)…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Fred Kaplan (6) for Slate (2,081) on 06 Apr 2016

The remarkable feat of churning out a whole new set of clichés and setting a new level of degradation…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Dan Jolin (289) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 06 Apr 2016

A largely inventive and energetic portrayal of a past-their-prime music legend that’s let down by its unnecessary trad biopic beats…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Stephanie Merry (410) for Washington Post (9,851) on 06 Apr 2016

The story can shift from uproarious to heartbreaking in the span of a scene, but Cheadle, in his feature directorial debut, controls the tone…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 06 Apr 2016

Miles Ahead is by no means a perfect film, but it is an interesting one. In this case, driven by Cheadle’s performance, that’s more than enough…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 06 Apr 2016

Cheadle the director, producer and co-writer boldly goes for broke with mixed results in this highly fictionalized version of the Miles Davis…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 06 Apr 2016

As creatively vivid, turbulent, and timeless as the legendary jazz musician himself…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Dann Gire (642) for Chicago Daily Herald (649) on 06 Apr 2016

[It] comes so close to being an insightful window into the life and soul of this amazing musician, but remains a superficial, furiously episodic…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 06 Apr 2016

Did Get on Up (which was disappointing as well) only depict the later years when James Brown faced personal and professional problems? No…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Apr 2016

The reason I like Miles Ahead, despite its problems, has everything to do with Cheadle both behind and in front of the camera…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 06 Apr 2016

Cheadle the actor is nearly perfect in the role…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Angelica Jade Bastien (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 06 Apr 2016

Miles Ahead is a film of ugly, bold bravado…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Sherilyn Connelly (422) for SF Weekly (560) on 05 Apr 2016

Cheadle is a delight to watch, and by and large, Miles Ahead can be described as his Miles Davis fan fiction…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for New York Observer (1,400) on 05 Apr 2016

Actor-turned-director Don Cheadle trashes the historic career of Miles Davis in Miles Ahead, named after one of the greatest albums ever made…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 03 Apr 2016
