Movie Reviews of Jimi Hendrix - The Uncut StoryMovie Review: The most detailed of Hendrix Documentaries.... Summary: 5 Stars
I was really surprised to see lack of stellar reviews for this video. I guess not having the endorsement of Experience Hendrix Foundation really does carry a lot of weight. This is by far the most complete and insightful Hendrix documentary I have ever seen. The Experience Hendrix Foundation did not support this documentary so they did not allow his actual music to be a part of this feature. That is a real shame. Many close friends and relatives are interviewed in this film. I found the words of his brother especially insightful when he talks about growing up with Jimi and gives his interpretations to the lyrics of some of Jimi's most heartfelt songs. Not all of Jimi's family life was positive and many details the family would not like to talk about are presented in this documentary. It is no surprise they would not endorse his. At the same time, it comes off as fair and honest and much of the testimony comes from family themselves. I learned more about Hendrix's childhood here than I did from 2 books: 'Scuse Me While I kiss the Sky or Krammer's Experience Hendrix. The evils of Jeffreys is well documented here as well. A very comprehensive narrative of his life as traveling rock star worked to death is given incorporating facts, events or stories I have heard scattered across other sources. Again, I learned a lot of new stuff as well. I give this 5 stars because it is the most complete Hendrix documentary so far. A lot of previous characters from the other documentaries make appearances here but there are a lot of new people as well. Production-wise, these videos are straightforward and would not be fit to air on MTV or cater to attention deficit. These videos are meant to inform and not entertain. I guess this could be another reason for the low ratings. Whatever, I just write this to let you know that this is a must for real Hendrix fans.
