A Portrait of Chet Baker

We would like to respond to film critic Sheila Benson and jazz writer Leonard Feather’s dual attack on Bruce Weber’s documentary movie “Let’s Get Lost,” about the late trumpeter Chet Baker (May 25).

It doesn’t seem like sound policy for The Times to run two damning reviews of any film. The criticisms were imbued with a petty viciousness that does a disservice to Los Angeles film audiences.

We’ve come to expect better from Benson and Feather.
