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 Movie Beware Of Mr. Baker
It's refreshing to watch a music doc, especially one with such intimate access to its subject, in which barely anyone is unreservedly polite about the person in question.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out Ginger Baker has been revealed as a major talent, an innovator and an unlikely survivor. And a not very nice guy.
Tom Long-Detroit News Ginger Baker is, and was, a train wreck. Yet this film, like Baker's onstage playing, is always riveting, and something you can't look away from.
Charles Cross-Seattle Times "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 The constantly gripping film is adroitly assembled.
Philip French-Observer [UK] With no preconceptions, I found this to be one of the films of the year - an extraordinary story about an even more astonishing talent.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Bleakly entertaining, Beware of Mr Baker neither eulogises nor patronises its subject; one day (though possibly not soon), Baker may take it upon himself to say thanks.
Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London It's a broadly forgiving portrait of an impossible, irascible talent, who seems to have treated life much like his instrument.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph We are always being told that books and movies have to have "sympathetic" lead characters - well, here's a documentary that does very well without one.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] An interesting character study interspersed with classic rock, jazz and Afrobeat clips. Nothing more, but certainly nothing less.
Mark Asch-Little White Lies Entertaining documentary about the notoriously cantankerous drummer...
Michael Bonner-Uncut Magazine [UK] It's all insanely enjoyable.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Searingly honest and ultimately deeply moving, this is a fascinating portrait of notoriously antisocial former Cream drummer Ginger Baker, now 73 and still raging.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon A juicy slice of rock history.
Patrick Peters-Empire Magazine A fascinating rockumentary that pays tribute to its subject's impressive musical odyssey, while illustrating the enormous emotional costs he's incurred along the way.
Tom Dawson-Total Film By turns sad and darkly comedic, but never less than mesmerizing -- a moving and morally conflicted portrait of a true questing spirit.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness This straightforward yet insightful documentary pays tribute to its subject without resorting to hagiography.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com 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.
