I feel some of the reviews here have been overly harsh on this film.
Is it entirely accurate? No, but then tell me, what biopic is?
It's a real shame though that none of Hendrix' music was featured in the film but then that only serves to credit the makers even more that they managed to creat a wholey enjoyable film without the music of the maestro himself.
There was still some fantastic musical moments and the Soundtrack overall done the film justice.
There was some excellent acting performances throughout and I feel the casting was remarkably well done in the main. The film gave the overall vibe of the times and how Hendrix came to prominence in the UK before hitting the Monterey music festival.
It would be nice to see a biopic of this man made whereby his music is showcased, since that is what he was about and carry it throughout his overly short musical career.
Yes, there are errors in this production and that's a real shame in honesty but there are also a lot of accuracies too.
Overall, really not a bad film. Is it one for diehard Hendrix fans who know about his life? Well, probably not but for anyone new to the Hendrix phenomenon then sure, it'll serve as a basic outline into how he started in music.
