Rotten
A hip-looking mess of a movie, made tolerable by Benjamin's spacey-cool Hendrix. Great costumes, few insights.

It's a risky approach that's bound to frustrate many folks, but it's also quite illuminating in its own way.

You can sense the movie's desire to break free of the demands of the rock biopic, but you can also sense it constantly being pulled back.

Thanks to Benjamin's performance and the unique quality of the subject itself, the movie's hard to dismiss.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Fresh
A flawed, ambitious and deeply peculiar portrait of one of the 20th century's most enigmatic musical talents, in the year before he ascended to rock-god status, that resembles no other pop-music biopic you've ever seen.
