Rating: B+ --
A well-made account of both the man's achievements and his jerkiness.

He may have been a difficult, off-putting person in real life - okay, he DEFINITELY was - but when he played, his music touched something deep and elemental inside the listener. As one interviewee puts it, "I want to feel the way Miles sounds."

Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rating: 4/4 --
It's a film that Miles himself would recognize - truthful, gritty, elegantly musical, unpredictable and even surprising - the kind of complex yet elegiac tribute a man as relentlessly real as Miles Davis deserves.

Those not familiar with Miles Davis will probably take more away than committed fans, although that will hopefully also open up some ears along the way.

The Digital Fix
Like many music documentaries, this profile of groundbreaking trumpet player and bandleader Miles Davis feels constrained by its conventional length, and devotes too little time to too many subjects.

Chicago Reader
[I]t's a tantalizing portrait: rich, probing, mournful, romantic, triumphant, tragic, exhilarating, and blisteringly honest.
Variety
Product Description:
A force to be reckoned with, Miles Davis is one of the most acclaimed figures in jazz. He is a bandleader, trumpeter, composer, and most of all, cool. In Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool, director Stanley Nelson captures his essence through an array of archival materials: his manuscripts, original paintings, photos, and home videos shot by Davis himself. Interviews with his closest friends, ex-lovers, and fellow icons also reveal what makes Davis an enduring figure in music.
