Review of Stoned

Stoned (2005)
7/10
A Provocative And Worthwhile Biopic
28 December 2013
While I'm not going to rave about the acting in this movie, it was above average and certainly respectable. What makes this movie worth seeing, however, is its fabulous recreation of the life and times of Brian Jones and the Stones - and the little-known details surrounding Jones' mysterious death. Here, a theory is put forward that I have accepted (especially since there's been a death-bed confession) and I believe needs to be known. Stones fans will learn much here, too, about the rocky relationship Jones had with his bandmates toward the end and the reasons for his being fired from the band (including some surprising morality issues that played into it). You'll find yourself gaining new respect for Mick and Keith. While some aspects of the movie don't rise above the feel of a TV flick, I highly urge Stones fans to see it. It gives us a glimpse into a world long gone that helped lead to some of the best songs ever.
