Miles Ahead (2015)
Tour de force for Don Cheadle
24 April 2016
See this movie if you love Miles Davis. See this movie is you're a Don Cheadle fan. See this movie if you want to find out how JIMI: ALL IS BY MY SIDE should have been done. See this movie if you are a jazz fan. See this movie if you a movie fan. Right now, the Oscars are a two man race between Don Cheadle and Michael Keaton (for THE FOUNDER) Don Cheadle wisely used a screenplay and editing structure that was both like jazz and Mile Davis' life. I watched the movie Friday night. NOBODY left when the credits rolled. You'll have to see the film to find out why. Stayed in my seat talking with people about the film. Stayed so long the audience for the next showing came in... and we were still talking. That never happened before. Great movie. I predict Oscar noms for Cheadle,(acting, writing, directing) Emayatzy Corinealdi, editing, film score and possibly best picture nom. Cheadle has got some career decisions to make: To act or to direct.
