Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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."

Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars (2017) **** (out of 4)This documentary, clocking in over two hours, features Eric Clapton discussing his life and career as we get clips from various concerts and television specials. Throughout the running time we learn about how his career took shape, his friendship with George Harrison and the love affair that shaped some of his greatest songs.If you're a fan of Clapton then I'm sure you're going to already know a lot of the stories told here but the documentary is extremely well-made and there's no question that you can get some added joy out of hearing Clapton discuss these events. This includes the various high points of his life but also the low ones including the death of Jimi Hendrix as well as his son, which also led to one of his most loved songs.There's no doubt that getting the interview footage with Clapton was a major plus but the greatest aspect of this documentary is that it has a lot of really great video footage. This includes a lot of early concert footage from Clapton's time with Cream as well as some earlier projects that Clapton worked on. There's no doubt that the brilliance of Clapton as a guitarist gets to shine here and if you're not a fan then you will be after watching this.ERIC CLAPTON: LIFE IN 12 BARS takes a look at a brilliant but troubled man and I thought it was extremely fair handled and entertaining.

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!
