Miles Ahead is a wildly entertaining exploration of one of 20th century music's creative geniuses, Miles Davis, featuring a career defining performance by Oscar® nominee Don Cheadle in the title role. In the midst of a prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz, Miles Davis (Cheadle) virtually disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and pain medications. Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor), a wily music reporter, forces his way into Davis' life and, over the next couple of days, the two men unwittingly embark on a wild and sometimes harrowing adventure to recover a stolen tape of the musician's latest compositions. Plagued by years of regret and loss, Davis flirts with annihilation until he once again finds salvation in his art.

Entertaining Shot of Miles!This is the 2nd time I’ve seen this film, and loved it both times. It’s not a convention biopic in that it gives us Miles at a really low point in his life and frequently flashes back to connect him to Miles on the rise. The man was so complicated, I’m not sure whether it’s possible to convey his entire life in a 2 hr film, but Cheadle succeeds in giving us a hefty slice that satisfies. No way Ian McGregor belonged in this film, but they made it work and it was very funny..MacktanScore: 5/5
Well done.This is one of the better music biopics I've seen. This is a difficult genre to get right and Cheadle & co really pulled it off..ForwhomthejethrotullsScore: 5/5
Great MovieI absolutely loved this movie. Don Cheadle really embraced the essence of Miles Davis..Live GeminiScore: 5/5
Don Cheadle is a great actor, but not such a great directorNo question, Don Cheadle is a great actor, extremely talented, but I wish a great director had also helmed this movie. The story and direction just wasn't up to par with the concept. The material was so rich, there was just so much potential here, could have been an award winning flick. I gave this movie 3 stars simply for Don Cheadle's excellent performance as an actor..Rambo8649Score: 3/5
Great role for Cheadle, inane plotMiles Davis was a great....well, you and I know he was a great jazz musician but Miles Ahead documents that he was also a fabulous addict as well. Isn't that a fine subject to make a tribute movie about?
No doubt it was an ego trip for Cheadle to act in this movie. He plays the role very well, hence two stars.
This is one of those movies that the actor gets to "sink his teeth into" but it leaves the viewer with little but that Miles Davis was an addict and Mikes Davis was so much more than that..Surfsea7Score: 2/5
Not reflective of the gravity of the Miles Davis LegacyThis was well acted, well shot , lit and recorded. It had good costumes and continuity. As far as the story goes its a flop.
The more you know about the history of Jazz and Black American Music and African American culture the less you will like this bit of entertainment.
The profundity of the Miles Davis Legacy goes entirely unreflected by this some what pittiful money grab.
Its a drag that this is all that the talent involved was able to achieve with the money spent.
Truly disapointing .
You have to see it if your a fan but you will be left wondering why this weak thing was made.
Close to being utterly flatulent .
Check what Dick Gregory has to say about this flick.
You have been warned..GitarskyScore: 3/5
DisenchantedI wasn't feeling "the reason and the rhyme" of the story, so, I turned it off after about 10 minutes of viewing. However, it might be a good story to other people..Berkeley RoosterScore: 1/5

Français Fin des années 1970. À l'apogée de sa carrière, Miles Davis, précurseur du jazz moderne, disparaît du devant de la scène pendant cinq ans. Seul et reclus, il souffre d'une douleur chronique à la hanche, son talent est mis à mal par les drogues et les analgésiques, et les fantômes du passé ne tardent pas à venir le hanter. Lorsque Dave Braden, un journaliste musical particulièrement rusé, réussit à faire le forcing pour entrer chez l'artiste, une complicité s'installe entre les deux hommes : ils vont tenter ensemble de récupérer un enregistrement volé des dernières compositions du musicien. Le comportement imprévisible de Miles Davis est aggravé par les souvenirs de son mariage raté avec la belle et talentueuse danseuse Frances Taylor qui fut aussi sa muse…

ελληνικά Στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του ’70 και με μια τεράστια καριέρα στον χώρο της μοντέρνας τζαζ o Miles Davis εξαφανίζεται από τη δημόσια σκηνή, επηρεασμένος από τα ναρκωτικά και τα παυσίπονα. Τότε είναι που μπαίνει στη ζωή του ο Dave Braden ένας μουσικός ρεπόρτερ που ξεκινά να ψάχνει μαζί του μια κλεμμένη κασέτα με ηχογραφήσεις του σπουδαίου Davis.

Český Miles Davis (Don Cheadle) již dlouho veřejně nevystupoval. Na konci sedmdesátých let vede život poustevníka v newyorské Upper Westside. Kokain je jeho stálým společníkem a jen málokdy se stane, že by zrovna nedržel v ruce naplněnou skleničku nebo cigaretu. Jazzový trumpetista se rozhoduje ke comebacku na scénu. Ale jeho klid je narušován neodbytným reportérem časopisu Rolling Stone, který opakovaně stojí u jeho dveří a hrubým způsobem se dožaduje vstupu do bytu. A navíc hudební producenti zavinili, že pásky s nejnovějšími nahrávkami zmizely. Miles má podezření na spiknutí, náhle se zase ocitá uprostřed divoké honičky. A k tomu ho ještě dohánějí vzpomínky na první velkou lásku Frances Taylor
Pусский Нью-Йорк, ноябрь 1945 года. Начинающий талантливый музыкант Майлс Дейвис входит в квинтет выдающего джазмена Чарли Паркера. Со временем молодой трубач вырабатывает свой неповторимый стиль звучания. «В мертвой музыке мелодия погибает, все дело в импровизации», — говорил Майлс Дейвис. Постепенно музыкант приобретает огромную популярность и славу не только в США, но и за пределами страны. Дейвис вносит огромный вклад в развитие акустического джаза. Музыкальные новшества знаменитого трубача становятся ориентиром для композиторов на ближайшие полсотни лет. Карьера джазмена была неровной. Дейвис переживал тяжелые периоды депрессии из-за пристрастия к наркотикам и алкоголю.

Dansk Filmen fortæller historien om jazzmusikeren Miles Davis. I midten af sin produktive karriere forsvinder Miles Davis - bogstavelig talt - fra offentligheden i fem år. Alene og ensom i sit hjem, lider han under frygtelige kroniske smerter, mens hans musikalske stemme forplumres af narko og smertestillende medicin. Da musikjournalisten, Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor) tiltvinger sig adgang til Davis hus, kastes de to mænd i de følgende dage uforvarende ud på et vildt og skræmmende eventyr for at sikre sig et stjålent masterbånd med musikerens seneste kompositioner.
Deutsch Im Jahre 1980 ist es schon fünf Jahre her, dass Miles Davis (Don Cheadle) eine Platte veröffentlicht hat. Einst verzückte er die Menschen mit seinem virtuosen Trompetenspiel und eroberte ihre Herzen im Sturm, doch diese Zeit liegt hinter der Jazzlegende. Mittlerweile lebt er zurückgezogen in New York und trauert seiner großen Liebe Frances Taylor (Emayatzy Corinealdi). Drogen und Alkohol sind ständige Begleiter. Doch dann macht das Gerücht die Runde, er habe neue Stücke aufgenommen. Musikjournalist Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor) wittert eine Topstory und will ein Interview mit Davis führen. Erst als der Reporter dem Musiker Kokain besorgt, erklärt sich die Legende dazu bereit. Das Gespräch zwischen den beiden läuft dabei alles andere als konventionell ab…
Italiano Racconto di uno dei periodi della vita di Miles Davis, compositore e trombettista jazz, e di come dopo cinque anni di esilio artistico, comunemente definito silenzio, sia ritornato alla musica, esplorando il suo legame con la sua musa, la sua voce, le sue paure e i cambiamenti intercorsi.
Polski Jazz to improwizacja. Takie też było życie legendarnego Milesa Davisa. Nie miało przy tym nic wspólnego z aksamitnym brzmieniem trąbki, którym zaczarował publiczność na całym świecie. Do dziś uchodzi za niekwestionowaną supergwiazdę jazzu, jednego z najbardziej wpływowych muzyków w historii; to dzięki jego rewolucyjnemu, innowacyjnemu podejściu do instrumentów, rytmu i gry zespołowej powstały odrębne gatunki muzyczne. W życiu prywatnym mierzył się z uzależnieniem od twardych narkotyków, alkoholu, lekarstw, chorobami, bólem i niekończącymi się depresjami. Ale kiedy stawał na scenie, publiczność zamierała w zachwycie. "Miles Davis i ja" to poruszająca, szczera, pozbawiona glamouru i blichtru opowieść o Milesie Davisie, największej gwieździe jazzu i nieszczęśliwym człowieku.
Український Майлз Девіс - американський джазовий трубач, який зробив помітний вклад у розвиток музики в другій половині XX століття. На вулиці 1979 рік, а Девіс вже 5 років не виходить на публіку і марно шукає натхнення. Після аварії у музиканта болить стегно і найпростіший спосіб позбуватися від болю - алкоголь та наркотики... Але у Майлза є унікальний запис, який ще не видавався і продюсери жадають його отримати.
Magyar A Miles Ahead című életrajzi film cselekménye 1979-ben veszi fel a fonalat, amikor minden idők legjobban tartott jazz-zenésze, Miles Davis öt évre eltűnt a nyilvánosság elől, és egyetlen fellépést sem vállalt. Otthonában egyedül küzdve krónikus csípőfájdalmával zenei kiválóságát elnyomták a kábítószerek és a fájdalomcsillapítók, miközben elméjét a múlt démonai kísértették.
български език Минали са години, откак Майлс Дейвис последно е свирил на сцена. Сега, в края на 70-те години, той живее отшелнически живот в нюйоркския квартал Горен Уест Сайд. Кокаинът е единствената му, но постоянна компания и рядко има момент, в който да е без пълна чаша или цигара в ръка. Джаз тромпетистът планира своето завръщане, но уединението му е нарушено от досадния репортер от сп. "Rolling Stone", койго дори успява да се промъкне в дома му. За беда, звукозаписни продуценти открадват лентата с най-скорошните му записи. Подозирайки заговор, Майлс скоро се оказва въвлечен в преследване с коли. Освен това непрекъснато му изплуват спомени за първата му голяма любов - Франсиз Тейлър. Режисьорският дебют на актьора Дан Чийдъл е напълно различен от конвенциите на традиционните биографии. Като избира само два дни от живота на този изключителен артист, който е колкото гневен, толкова и саможив, Чийдъл залага на присъщите на музиканта импровизации в опита си да открие подход към личността на Дейвис.

Davisin hiljaiselo päättyy, kun musiikkitoimittaja tunkeutuu hänen elämäänsä ja parivaljakko lähtee seikkailuun saadakseen takaisin varastetun ääninauhan, joka sisältää Davisin uusia sävellyksiä.
