Ray (2004)
The musician who caused a stir was Ray Charles. The film tells about the beginning of a musician's life, which was modest in the remote south. He had been blind since the beginning of the seventh year and had not received any attention to make him reach stardom. He began a long struggle until he rose to stardom in a remarkable manner, especially during the fifties and sixties, where he became the legend of music in his time.

Potent and vibrant as far as the music goes, but reticent, self-conscious and pretty much stuck on unexplored surfaces when it comes to this creative giant's complex life and times.October 29, 2004

Sure, it's the Jamie Foxx breakout role. But the movie around it is so systematically 'inspirational' that it comes perilously close to sabotaging the breakout.June 21, 2007

Foxx does what he's supposed to. He steals his own show.November 04, 2004
