Review - Ray (2004)

Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2020)

The movie is too strict on the codes of the genre. Once again, it follows the same Storytelling arc with the same themes about tragic childhood, drug/alcohol issues, and marital issues. This movie is not innovative, and you are dulled pretty fast.
Plus, the supporting actors don't feel authentic in their roles, it looks like they all play a different emotion of the same character to fill the blank spaces. Only Jamie Foxx is interpretation is good, but I wouldn't say that it was worthy of an Academy Award.
Also, the music looks thrown way to do ellipsis, it ruined the narration not to mention that the CGI transitions are dated and look cringe today.
Finally, I don't recommend that you watch this movie, there is so music movies like this. When you have watched one, you have watched all of them.
