A fairly convincing version of what might have happened.

The makers of Stoned needed Mick's help, certainly the rights to cuts from the band's discography, avoiding a disappointing soundtrack featuring The Counterfeit Stones.

Stoned is a strange - and deeply unsatisfying - exhumation of the Brian Jones legend.

A correct film full of good music, but that perhaps disappoints the fans of the Rolling Stones. [Full Review in Spanish]

A miserable disappointment.

| Original Score: F | Jun 21, 2007

Except for copious amounts of male and female nudity, Stoned has absolutely nothing to recommend it.

| Mar 1, 2007

Never finds a way to interest us in what made Jones tick.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | May 4, 2006

Thorogood apparently confessed, on his deathbed, to murdering Jones, but the movie doesn't give us much of a clue why.

Full Review | Apr 29, 2006

...a lacking rock-n-roll biopic that has more disjointed disillusionment than a muddy Woodstock hippie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 19, 2006

Even The Doors looked like a model of clarity next to this.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 14, 2006

I would rather be stoned than have to watch Stoned.

| Original Score: D | Apr 13, 2006

A flat riff on Jones's short life. You'll get the highlights but no sense of what made him special -- or what really haunted him.

| Apr 6, 2006

You can't exactly blame Jones for leading such a clichéd rock-star life. You can, however, blame director Stephen Woolley for making such a clichéd rock-star film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2006

A typical, but very effective chronicle of yet another man's downfall in the black hole that is fame through rock and roll, and the complacent enabling of his friends and family.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

More than just another dead-celeb biopic, this is an effective evocation of the era in which Jones lived and died.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006

This is one of the worst of the year -- both '06 and '66.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Mar 31, 2006

When 'Stoned' veers away from the known facts of the Stones' story ... it [slows]. For anyone less than obsessed with such Stones arcana, it's hard to imagine how it could matter at all.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 31, 2006

Wooley is more interested in emulating Nicolas Roeg's 1970 film Performance than in making the story his own. In style and content, this movie is a weak imitation.

| Original Score: C | Mar 30, 2006

Mostly what we see are breasts. Lots and lots of beautiful breasts.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 28, 2006
