ThiefHott Too much of everything
VividSimon Simply Perfect
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Jay Mullings It was a great watch with nice insight into genius at play. Also good to see an environment where real recognised real.
wiebe-561-871305 I was curious about this documentary given my love for rap music. But the background of the story and the role of Jimmy Iovine simply surprised my. And also the depth of dre's character. This is a really good documentary, must watch if you love the chronic
cleanpenguin I found the documentary to be very pleasurable to watch, first of all. Gorgeously shot, and of course the soundtrack is incredible. It's almost worth it simply to relive the times and learn more about the men.It's also far from any kind of objective documentary or news piece. They mostly interview people who adore Jimmy & Dre, and negative moments are framed as exceptions or learning experiences. It's not a journalistic documentary as much as a piece made by friends and fans. So long as you're fine with that, if you have any interest in their work in the music business, it's a captivating ride, even if it often comes across as a super well-produced infomercial.
Andi Popescu This was... simply put, the best documentary I have ever, ever seen! There's no other way to define it. I mean, man, where do I start? The editing is... breathtaking! The music... ohhh... what a delight. The way the stories are intertwined. Simply marvelous. You don't have to be into hip-hop to watch this. It is pure history. I'm not much of a reviewer, this is my first one in almost 12 years of IMDb, but I felt like it needed at least ONE review, since it had none at the time I wrote mine.Anyway, if you can, DO watch this! It is incredibly well done and compellingly truthful.
