Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2004)

I thought the movie was great. Jamie Foxx really turned in an outstanding performance. I did not know the story of Ray Charles before I saw the movie and it was a real treat and a great story. The supporting cast was awesome, even the younger actors. The actress that played Ray's mother should get an Oscar nod as she made every scene in which she appeared. I agree with another viewers comments in that even though this movie was pretty long, it did seem to end almost too soon, leaving out some of the most recent events. (why do these bio-pics seem to always do that? Just like Ali) And seeming to leave some things unexplained. This movie has compelled me to go back and get some old Ray Charles albums and take a listen.
