Must See!

I am a film director myself and after watching this film for the 5th time I still can't get enough from Jamie Fox's performance. He is so good and so convincing that all other performances including David Krumholtzes great portrayal and even Richard Schiff are pushed aside.

Oscar-winning Biography Ray tells the story of musician Ray Charles who life certainly didn't lack interest. Charles went blind at the age of seven, but overcame both his loss of sight and his poor background to succeed though a combination of raw talent and determination. Success however, meant that Ray had to come to terms with spiralling personal problems, such as his heroin addiction and infidelity. Jamie Foxx gives an absolutely fantastic performance as Charles, and he matches his whole appearance and habits right down to every last little detail. Full of emotion and drama, Ray is a wonderfully inspiring film that is a joy to watch. Powerful and moving but also full of some cracking good music too.
