Ray

Even if the movie was not good, this would still rate as a must-go-to movie, simply for its soundtrack. I've always loved Ray Charles' music. But to hear the music on a theater's booming sound system - is great! The movie is not so much a movie peppered with songs as much as it is a discographic sequence of his great works... interspersed with narrative.
Focussing on the 10 most turbulent years of his career, the very years that marked his meteoric rise, it's a good look at how hard it must've been for him.
One of the earlier reviews said that a few minutes into the movie it is no longer discernible that Jamie Foxx in this role is not really Ray - the mark of a role well played. It's hard enough to play a role in a biopic. Even harder to play a blind man such as Ray... and one so recently in public memory.

One of the best biopics I've seen, simple (no devious twists)... but soulful.
I loved it.

Rating: 5/5
