Featured review
A strong and admirably unflinching examination of one of the most iconic American musicians of the 20th C. The contributors are tastefully chosen and, although initially a bit strange, the decision to use Carl Lumbly to make Davis's own raspy words and blunt musings the "throughline" is a really smart one. It'd be nice to see more artist documentaries build themselves around the actual thoughts of the person. Beyond this, the documentary sadly struggles to walk the line between art and artist, and we get a couple of clunky omissions that feel a little onerous. To skip over his influential electric period almost entirely is a serious shame.
