Ray (2004)
In a realistic documentary story about the ambition and great struggle of the legendary musician Ray Charles. The life of this musician began very modest in the south, where he was blind at the age of seven and did not receive attention. He now ascended into stardom in a dramatic and striking way, especially during the 1950s and 1960s. It is a true model that speaks of a long struggle.

I wanted excellent, but it's only mediocre.

Give Jamie Foxx the damn Oscar already, it's done.
May 16, 2007
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.

Excellent portrayal of extraordinary musician.

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.

A powerhouse performance piece for Jamie Foxx and a rock solid biopic.

Foxx does what he's supposed to. He steals his own show.

Eminently worth seeing.

Jamie Foxx is excellent, and sturdily supported by [James L.] White's script all the way.

Vibrantly intelligent and tough-minded.

To describe Foxx's performance here is to gush, and so gush we will.

Jamie Foxx's all-encompassing performance in the title role more than justifies the early Oscar gossip it has generated.
