Ray (2004)

Falling on the meaty, potential role of a lifetime like a ravenous lion, erstwhile comedian Jamie Foxx, so good in Collateral, is just wonderful as the eponymous star.

...Foxx’ prisbelønnede præstation er i særklasse: En regulær tour de force, hvor især Charles’ aparte kropssprog er forrygende godt ramt.

The movie would be worth seeing simply for the sound of the music and the sight of Jamie Foxx performing it. That it looks deeper and gives us a sense of the man himself is what makes it special.

...the transcendent performance of Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles kicks this otherwise ordinary biopic into the realm of the extraordinary.

..the triumph of the film is Foxx, who gives a supremely deft and convincing performance as Charles.
