Jamie Foxx's performance is as smooth as the real Ray Charles.

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2019)

One of the better biopics I have ever seen fueled by an electric bravo performance from Foxx. I didn't know much about the man before I saw this film. It made me look up and research his life. Anytime a movie can inspire you like that it is a classic. The run time was long but my interest was never garnered. The flashbacks to his childhood fit the movie perfectly and helped explain the man he became and the obstacles he overcame as being a blind man. Supporting roles were fantastic also and I just can't say enough about the performance by Jamie Foxx. It was one of the better of the decade. The history part is also pretty good also. It's just a good flowing film anchored by an all time great performance.
