Review of Ray (2004) by Stefan G — 21 Jan 2014
Ray is an interesting film about an interesting character. Even when Hollywood embellishes the details, the film still manages to capture the life of the beloved soul singer (though they I think they shouldn't have condensed it as much).
Obviously the highlight of the film is the performance of Jamie Foxx, who literally triumphs in the starring role with a genuinely convincing performance. All the other characters are very good too, though they sometimes fade into the background when compared to Jamie Foxx's character.
Even though the music isn't necessarily my style, it's actually a very inviting blend of soul music (all of which come from the late Ray Charles himself). All the aforementioned elements go together nicely to create an engaging biopic.
