Rent Hendrix (2000)

Very Good Film. - Hendrix review by CP Customer

Did not expect to like this, the Hendrix story is a

bit clouded with "hippie nonsense".  I have been

following it since 1966 and I think this is closest  to

the truth yet. The Mike Jeffrey's and  Noel Redding

characters to me look real also Jimi's  too.

I like covers of music done well and thoughtfully like

this .  The JHE were pushed  hard but maybe Jimi

should have waited to build his own studio...... 

The last scene struck me as realistic too.  Sad. 

Enjoyable dive into late 60s pop culture - Hendrix review by CD

I enjoyed this film much more than I expected. It seems to receive little critical coverage, but the characters and acting are good and the music at times really excellent. It takes a bit to get used to actors trying to represent legends such as Hendrix and Cream, but here it works well and I found the way the managers and promoters were displayed in the film as an interesting extra angle. I came away with a real desire to listen to more Hendrix music across all eras of his bands, so a good result I think for the fim-makers and for the great man himself.
