Ray Reviews

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

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10

Excellent portrayal of extraordinary musician.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

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

Full Review | Original Score: A

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.

The directing is sure-handed, the script intelligent, and the acting strong, especially the amazing performance from Foxx.

Ray is a flawed film, but Foxx's captivating acting and a bustling soundtrack smooth the rough spots.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

'Jamie Foxx brinda una de esas interpretaciones que, aunque suene a cliché, quedan para la historia'

| Original Score: 3/4

(...) Una lograda actuación y buena música no hacen, necesariamente, una gran película. Y Ray es uno de esos casos.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Feels like it's trying to cover too much ground.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A very good film, regardless of whether or not you love Ray Charles' music. And even if it was a lesser film, Jamie Foxx's performance would have made it worth watching.

Full Review | Original Score: 80/100

Paints a dramatic and surprisingly frank picture of the music legend.

| Original Score: A

Yet another ho-hum man of genius biopic, showcasing a scenery-chewing lead-behaving-badly, shoddy Freudian psychoanalysis, and cliche bottom-of-the-ninth redemption.

This is a great time at the movies, an unforgettable story about a true legend.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

A busca por concisão em uma cinebiografia é importante, mas não pode ser alcançada sacrificando-se a complexidade da história e tornando-a artificial, que é o que ocorre aqui.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A good film but not a great one.

Full Review | Original Score: 60/100

"Ray" is truly one of the best films this year.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

Ray is a powerhouse of a film, and Jamie Foxx inhabits the character with so much voracity that it is impossible to decipher where Foxx ends and Charles starts.

Some of the performances of Ray Charles's greatest hits send you right over the void at the center of the movie.
