Movie Reviews

The Patriot Ledger - 9/10 by Al AlexanderRidley confines his subject to small nightclubs and even smaller apartments, where we hear little music and a lot of talk. Too much talk; all of it in service of a movie with shockingly little to say.
Austin American-Statesman - 9/10 by Matthew OdamBenjamin displays the familiar Hendrix quirks (the jaw gyrations, wide eyes and smiles while jamming), captures his wind-blown-kite voice perfectly, and paints the picture of an accidental poet philosopher who defied genre classifications.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Chris NashawatyThe film's lack of such signature Hendrix tunes as ''Purple Haze'' may put off some — the filmmakers couldn't get the rights — but I'd argue that this obstacle forced Ridley to zig where most biopics zag. Which, when you think about it, is fitting for the story of a lefty who played his guitar upside down.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Chris BarsantiJohn Ridley's fractured and narrowcast, unauthorized Jimi Hendrix biopic...wrongly assumes that Andre Benjamin's intuitive inhabiting of the musician's skittish soul will entice audiences as much as it does the women around him.
AV Club - 9/10 by Jesse HassengerIt’s hard to hear what All Is By My Side is saying about anything, given how many scenes feature vaguely druggy overlapping dialogue, part of a fussy sound design that’s paired with intentionally choppy editing.
ComingSoon.net - 8/10 by Edward DouglasA refreshing change from other musical biopics as it shows other sides to the rock legend that we haven't had a chance to see before.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Stephanie ZacharekWhatever its flaws may be — and there are many — John Ridley's Jimi: All Is By My Side is compelling for one specific reason: It's more attuned to the women in Hendrix's life than it is to Hendrix himself.
RedEye - 8/10 by Matt PaisHe wanted to groove, baby, and the movie floats there with him.
Monsters and Critics - 8/10 by Ron WilkinsonA powerful look at the crucial years in an artist's trajectory when the thrill of success begins to yield to the curse of fame.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Chris Riemenschneider[Benjamin's] mesmerizing work saves this unique and somewhat controversial new biopic from a level of entirely un-Jimi-like mediocrity.
