Respect - Reviews

...I felt the essence of Holiday being channeled onscreen.

It’s as uplifting and ready-made for sing-alongs as any recent bio-pic...

...[Hudson] singing every song live, does as well as any person conceivably could to imitate the sound of the Queen of Soul's otherworldly instrument.

That Hudson should swing and score is a tribute both to her talent, and to Franklin’s notoriously controlling casting instincts.

A perfectly serviceable biopic with good performances...

Jennifer Hudson is on the best form she’s been since winning an Oscar for Dreamgirls but, as biography, the film is just a bit safe.

...an old-fashioned show-business biopic such as this rises and falls on the talents of the lead, and it’s hard to imagine anyone in the world doing more justice to the legacy of Aretha Franklin than Jennifer Hudson.

Rather than just highlighting her incredible voice, 'Respect' fills out Aretha Franklin’s story...

Hudson's performance as Aretha is electric, both on and off the stage.

Starring Jennifer Hudson as the late soul legend, it depicts a woman struggling to find her true voice...

...sober biopic om dronningen af soul.

Filmen om Aretha Franklin är bäst när den fokuserar på souldrottningens musikaliska karriär.

En självlysande Jennifer Hudson är det bästa med ”Respect”, en biografisk och påkostad film om souldrottningen Aretha Franklins turbulenta liv.

Oavsetts dess nödvändiga eller icke-nödvändiga varande som kontrast till skapandet, finner jag djup respekt både för Aretha Franklin och för Jennifer Hudson. Två kvinnor vars röster ger mig gåshud.

Det er svært ikke at blive revet med af det fantastiske cast...

Välgjord traditionell biografi över Aretha Franklin.
