    Drugs, unfaithfulness, every woman a sex toy--not much to like about the man--disappointed. Acting is good, but I lost interest after an hour when it was one drug or woman after another.

    I was 14 when this film premiered and I remember the raves and cheers it received. And still for me to consider one of the greatest pieces of memorable films, acting, portrayal, and detailed story telling through the journey each range Jamie takes upon. Cinematic wise also. After 20 years of rewatching it, it is a refreshing revisit as when I had seen it for the first time. Jamie really set the standard for biopics across the board. No one has matched his portrayal with his acting in this film. A cinematic masterpiece. Cinematography was also amazing and the production outstanding. This film and the accolades stands the test of time. It has been 20 years and nothing nor neither can hold a candle to this epic performance. Not only a must see, but a must rewatch as well. Everything was very vivid and raw. Nothing was held back and we as the audience was graced to get every effect of that was delivered. Every single moment captured felt a reminiscent time that you have never experienced. A great tribute to the life of the late and great Ray Charles. Triple diamond. Luxury performance and deemed a great collection piece of filmography. A master class of what a biopic should be and must include. Also the story being the closest to detail is what makes it all the remarkable. I would like to say, thank you for this classic work of art.

    To hear Ray Charles play his songs while watching the movie is something that is really special to everybody. To see him go through so much drama throughout his career is something that everyone should learn about, that way they can support an incredible musician as a person and as a friend.

    Totally miss when biopics were more like this , and weren't afraid to show some of the nitty gritty stuff aswel as their rise to superstardom. Great film, and flawless performance by Jamie Fox 🏆

    Just like many other biopics I've seen, this was another really solid one. Really enjoyed Jamie Foxx's portrayal here, he nailed it.

    Definitely one of the best biopics of all time, "Ray" gives us possibly the BEST Jamie Foxx role, as well as amazing performances from Kerry Washington, Bokeem Woodbine, Regina King and Harry Lennox. This is shot pretty great, and the cinematography was as well. As riveting as it is outright amazing, and Foxx was definitely the most deserving of that Oscar.

    this movie was brilliant. it truly shows the trouble of an African American blind man in the early and mid 1900's. it shows the heartache, the love, the up's and downs of being a musician. would 100% recommend, however HUGE tearjerker.
