A cracking story, buzzily edited, this warts-and-warts portrait delivers an illuminating insight into recent rock history. Don't miss it.

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.

It's a broadly forgiving portrait of an impossible, irascible talent, who seems to have treated life much like his instrument.

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.

An interesting character study interspersed with classic rock, jazz and Afrobeat clips. Nothing more, but certainly nothing less.

A deceptively unconventional rock 'n' roll tale of drink, drugs, drums and ponies, Bulger's Beware of Mr. Baker saddens as much as it elates.

As jaw-dropping as Ginger Baker's drumming is, the man himself is even more rattling.
