The Rise of a Group Just Like the Supremes

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2020)

Deny it as they may, the makers and stars of this film were at the very least inspired by the Supremes and the gripping story of the all-girl Motown trio's rise to international fame in the 1960s. Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles, Eddie Murphy, and Jennifer Hudson (singing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" in her Oscar-winning role) bring the story to life rather effectively. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2016
