Rating: 4/5 --
Similar in style to Listen to Me Marlon, Asif Kapadia's Amy or Brett Morgan's Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, Lili Fini Zanuck's look at life of Eric "Slowhand" Clapton offers plenty of visual treats and audio gems.

Lili Fini Zanuck's documentary gives us plenty of time to ponder Clapton's physique but if you're hoping to get inside the rock legend's head, look elsewhere.

London Evening Standard
Rating: 3/5 --
Has all the usual signifiers of a baby boomer icon, but there's a remoteness at work that is both cold and diminishing. "It took all the pain away," Clapton says of discovering the blues as a child in 1950s England, and negation would become a pattern.

Rating: 4/5 --
This is a dark and honest heartbreaker, built around a trio of tragedies.

Times (UK)
... Eric Clapton: Life In 12 Bars is a laborious viewing experiance, its glacial pace heightened by the film's over-reliance on still photography.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Photographs carry the story here, along with voices, rather than filmed interviews. Actually, it works.

[Eric] Clapton emerges here as a person who has gone through hell and back and his storm-tossed journey, which is also a journey of music of the past 50 years, still rings with pathos and relevance.

Product Description:
This documentary contextualizes Eric Clapton's role in contemporary music and cultural history. Told through his own words, it reflects on his traumatic childhood, his difficult struggle with drugs and alcohol, the loss of his son and how he always found his inner strength and healing in music. It features extensive interviews with Clapton himself, along with his family, friends, musical collaborators, contemporaries and heroes – including late music icons B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and George Harrison. Directed by Oscar winner Lili Fini Zanuck.
Eric Clapton is the only ever three-time-inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is an 18-time Grammy Award winner and widely renowned as one of the greatest performers of all time. But behind the scenes is restlessness and tragedy. Clapton's quest to grow his artistic voice left fans surprised as he constantly quit successful bands. His isolated pursuit of his craft, and fear of selling out, served as a catalyst for his evolution as an artist.
