BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

anodyne-17949 What begins as an exhaustive chronicle of one of the most famous and influential musicians of our time descends into soporific soap opera after about forty-five minutes. Ignoring and/or underplaying numerous milestones and other touchpoints in Slowhand's life and career (his close affiliation with Delaney & Bonnie, the Rainbow Concert organized by Pete townshend), Zanuck calls into question her own knowledge of EC's career -or lack thereof- as well as the laissez fair attitude toward the film held by the man once called 'God."

subashsitaula I cried after watching Life in 12 Bars.From Drugs to Conor death,Life in 12 Bars wont disappoint you if you are clapton's fan.

fasmatoskopio Don't mind the low rating so far, this is an excellent documentary on one of the greatest living musicians ever! With insight and empathy, it shows Clapton's life and the factors that made him who he is, with all pros and cons. Very informative, revealing and very moving also. Worth watching, definitely!

santuci Eric Clapton proves it again, he never really acknowledges who really carried him thru all the years, his fans. On that being said, I was glued to this film, especially to the rare footage and photos from the early British rock years. Great moments with all the big names from the British rock scenes. What is astounding is his minimal reference to his first solo album, work with Delaney and Bonnie, and his admiration for JJ Cale. From 461 Ocean Boulevard to Another Ticket and all in between, including Slowhand, Clapton mentions those as his "drunk years" in which he can't stand listening to the way he played on those albums because he was drunk all the time. Well guess what Eric, there are some fans out there who feel those albums are a part of their lives, whether you choose to forget that period of your life or not. Eric has a tremendous amount of work that he should be proud of. The work Eric has done in the 70's defined who he is to the American fan base. I wish he wouldn't forget it. What Eric wants to portray in his movie is quite simple, throughout all his tumultuous years, he has finally found what he is looking for; a family.
