Miles Ahead

...charismatic as Davis, capturing the man’s raspy voice, hard stare, and infinite swagger.

...[especially] Cheadle and McGregor as an unexpected pair of buddy cops, is quite enjoyable.

It’s an engaging portrayal, enlarging this already larger-than-life figure...

’Miles Ahead’ understreger, at Davis’ tilgang til musik både var perfektionistisk, impulsiv og altid omskiftelig, men filmen er mere end en nichefilm om musik; det er et stærkt, menneskeligt periodedrama om en talentfuld artist...

This is a labour of requited love for Cheadle, a subject he clearly feels passionate about that responds to his touch.

It is one of the best performances of Cheadle’s career, made all the more remarkable because he’s directing all the scenes, as well.
