Movie Reviews

The Playlist - 10/10 by Katie WalshThe combination of compelling subject with an exciting and expert approach to documentary form achieves that transcendence you hope for in this genre: a melding of subject and text that is its own beast but also perfectly reflect each other.
Time Out - 10/10 by Joshua RothkopfAn aggressively unpleasant man somehow lands a perfect series of gigs in this rudely funny documentary: first as a pounding rock drummer who revolutionized the field; then as a fearless, rage-filled polo player; and finally as an impatient interviewee.
Observer (UK) - 10/10 by Philip FrenchThe constantly gripping film is adroitly assembled.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Nick PinkertonIn spite of Bulger's errors of tone, the movie stands as an engaging tussle with the question of what is permissible with the excuse of art. One former collaborator of Baker's, John Lydon (a/k/a Rotten), comes up with the most eloquent absolution: "I cannot question anyone with end results that perfect."
ScreenAnarchy - 9/10 by Jason GorberDeftly presented, with appropriate respect for the past but a clear sense of intellectual curiosity mixed with editorial detachment, one need not fear from the warnings about Mr. Baker, as long as you duck from the swings of his cane.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 9/10 by Colin Covert"Beware of Mr. Baker" argues that when an artist consistently delivers amazement, broken beaks and busted relationships are a fair price to pay.
New York Post - 9/10 by Kyle SmithIf Clapton was God, guess who was the devil?
New York Times - 8/10 by A.O. ScottMr. Bulger, a former boxer and model before he turned to journalism and then filmmaking, does not let "Behind the Music" sensationalism overwhelm the music itself, which is Mr. Baker's great passion and the only reason anyone should take an interest in him.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanSpitting obscenities at the film's director, Jay Bulger, Baker recalls his days as: the '60s thrash caveman who gave Cream and Blind Faith their transcendent power surge; the pioneer of druggy hotel-room rampages; and the damaged purist who left the pop world for Africa. The movie salutes the rhythms and the wreckage.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Cynthia FuchsGinger Baker's perpetual enigma makes for a documentary subject both beguiling and inaccessible, receding and aggressing.
