Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Writer-director-star Don Cheadle gives a towering performance that the film simply can't keep up with; he's truly on his own, which is perhaps the way Davis would have wanted it.
Adam Graham, Detroit News

A jazzy and unconventional tribute to an American icon, "Miles Ahead" is quite a ride.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Ultimately, Cheadle's labor of love prizes the music-making over the music, and maybe even over the man.
Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader
Rotten
The problem with "Miles Ahead" isn't the playful, broad license it takes with Davis' story, but that it's so silly.
Paul de Barros, Seattle Times
