Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Michael Arbeiter (93) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 30 Mar 2016

Miles Ahead spends a lot of time struggling with the responsibility of telling its subject's story…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 30 Mar 2016

The sophistication gap between the character Cheadle has created and the film that contains him is so great it begins to feel like you're watching…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 30 Mar 2016

Does it matter that stretches of Miles Ahead — a gun-rattling, squealing-tire car chase included — came out of the filmmakers’ imagination…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon (312) on 30 Mar 2016

To give a performance this layered and complex and unstinting while also directing the film around it, which is risky and imaginative and full…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Mar 2016

So give Don Cheadle credit for innovation, at least: His Miles Davis biopic (which he directed, co-wrote, and stars in), Miles Ahead, tackles…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 29 Mar 2016

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 29 Mar 2016

Like Born To Be Blue, Miles Ahead is allergic to all things biopic, especially the cheap psychology and the effort to tie up a complex life…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for MTV (492) on 29 Mar 2016

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 29 Mar 2016

Cheadle's tender eyes and scraped-raw whisper prove reason enough for Davis fans to give Miles Ahead a go: Just often enough, I thought, Holy…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 29 Mar 2016

Directed by, and starring, Don Cheadle, it's more about truth than facts. Did this all happen just the way it's laid out? Definitely not…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 28 Mar 2016

Cheadle's freeness with his format and willingness to try to express Miles' inner life with rich visuals shows plenty of promise to his future…

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 24 Mar 2016

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for The List (2,018) on 22 Feb 2016

What Miles Ahead lacks in biographical detail, it makes up for in attitude, offering an impressionistic and entertaining snapshot that captures…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Martin Tsai (390) for Critic's Notebook (199) on 09 Feb 2016

Miles Ahead seems less a treatise on the jazz trumpter's enduring artistry and legacy than a showcase for its star-director-co-writer, Don Cheadle…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for Guff.com (12) on 27 Jan 2016

Gives us examples of Davis's bravado so it never has to tell us how badass he was…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)
