Watch Beware Of Mr. Baker Movie Online No Survey At home with rock 'n' roll monster Ginger Baker, Cream's legendary scarlet-maned, hell-raising drummer. This no-holds-barred, sad, and hilarious portrait of the man referred to as rock's first great drummer (and perhaps still its best) lets him tell his own story, intercut with footage of his continent-hopping life, from London to L.A., Nigeria, Italy, South Africa, and (way) beyond. Baker may have broken the mold musically, but his violent, dyspeptic mood swings, fueled by a multi-decade heroin addiction, went a long way to making him persona non grata even among the music greats who still revere his work. Eric Clapton, Johnny Rotten, Charlie Watts, and Lars Ulrich, Baker's 4 wives, and 3 grown children all have something to say about him: "He's a force of nature," "he's the greatest drummer any of us had ever heard," "he's mad," and "he's fairly consistently horrible" are just a few of them.

Review For Beware Of Mr. Baker |
"Beware of Mr. Baker" is comprehensive, if somewhat overly glowing. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
The takeaway: great musician, deficient family man, taxing friend and bandmate, excellent documentary subject. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
This is warts and all, with the emphasis on the warts. David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle
"Beware of Mr. Baker" argues that when an artist consistently delivers amazement, broken beaks and busted relationships are a fair price to pay. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Bulger tries, unconvincingly, to paint Baker as a difficult but admirable rebel. The lingering question in the documentary is whether his musical accomplishments were worth the trail of damage. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
It gives Baker his musical props while at the same time demonstrating the film's title is no exaggeration. Peter Howell-Toronto Star
I watched Beware of Mr. Baker and longed for the time when rock was good, musicians were gods, and good god, the parties and the playing were species of their own. Matt Pais-RedEye
Although it hits many of the same notes as other recent musical docs, Beware of Mr. Baker nevertheless does a satisfactory job of capturing a restless personality. Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto
Even if you have no special interest in Baker's music, he's a compelling and witty subject. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Deftly presented, with appropriate respect for the past but a clear sense of intellectual curiosity mixed with editorial detachment, one need not fear from the warnings about Mr. Baker, as long as you duck from the swings of his cane. Jason Gorber-Twitch
Lots of surprises and unusual brio. . . in sorting out decades of stories and confusing points of view [with] visual documentation. Very entertaining. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Ginger Baker's perpetual enigma makes for a documentary subject both beguiling and inaccessible, receding and aggressing. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
The rock documentary to be seen by all those who swore they would never see another. Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
This intense, imaginative and wild little film celebrates an unrepentant madman, one of rock'n'roll's surprise survivors, drummer Ginger Baker. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
The hectic, wild life of the greatest rock 'n' roll drummer of them all is exposed in this absorbing documentary, which succeeds almost in spite of itself. David Noh-Film Journal International
The life story of a man who's led one hell of a fascinating life. Noel Murray-AV Club
