Review of Rai (1995) by Raja N — 03 Jan 2010
It's been a long time I wanted to lay my eyes on Ray Charles' portrayal, and now that I did, I'm definitely sure there won't ever be a better one. The film was a little bit long, but If you're into Ray's music, you won't ever feel it's passing. Jamie Foxx delivers here the performance of the century, portraying the difficult central caracter. The bit where "What I'd Say" was first improvised on stage was outstanding.
The film covers all the passages of Ray Charles, from his childhood, to finding his own music, getting signed by ABC, rehabilitation, this movie has it all. So if you ever wanna know about that great phenomenal artist, you definitely should look no further.
