Ray of Dark

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2005)

Biopics of stars are a genre in their own right. Ray Charles, for those who don't know (go slap yourself now punks), was a jazz pianist of great ability and his range of work is extensive because of his desire to innovate and his fondness of all things musical. Incidentally, he was also blind.
So Ray, did the whole star thing, use drugs, get married but sleep with many women. Perhaps it is not such an interesting story, other than the twist of Ray being blind. In the end, it is not such a bad movie, but then it is nothing special either. But well, I like Ray Charles and if you don't know him, watch this movie to meet him.
