Definitely Oscar caliber performances!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2004)

I never knew Jamie Foxx was such a great actor. He really went beyond any role I have ever seen him in before. I don't know if it was the acting, the screenplay or cinematography or a combination of all three. But for me, this is one of the best biographical films I have seen in a very long time. As Sharon Warren put it in a documentary about the movie, after seeing this film it really makes you feel that there is nothing that you can't accomplish if you set your mind to it. And I will never let anyone "turn me into a cripple". It is a very captivating film with a look back on the demons that Ray Charles had to face in his life and the methods he chose to deal with them and how he eventually conquered them.
