Jimi: All Is By My Side
Film Review: An Experimental Experience in Non-Biopic ‘Jimi: All is By My Side’
Submitted by NickHC on September 26, 2014 - 5:06pmCHICAGO – “Jimi: All Is by My Side” shows the Jimi Hendrix experience without having the rights to the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It’s an unofficial rumination that doesn’t have any Hendrix songs, and it focuses on a more day-in-the-life perspective of the rock star, albeit in a career period that would be scooted over through montage in any other film. The endeavor is ambitious in its desires, and stands out most of all for its experimental nature than it does for trying to achieve a truth higher than fact.
