   Is Ray a good movie?

   • Ray is a little overlong, with one or two scenes that feel on the dull side. However there is much to like, such as the strong support cast, the nuanced direction, a sharp script and powerful themes displayed just as powerfully and as movingly. Three things however are outstanding. One is the look of the film.

   Is Ray Charles a good actor?

   • That wasn't Jamie Foxx up on the big screen. That was Ray Charles. This is one of the best performances by anybody in recent years. Like the soundtrack, Jamie as Ray is flat-out brilliant. The blind Genius of Soul (who took a revolutionary step of mixing gospel with R&B) died during production. The movie about his troubled life is good, not great.

   What's a great scene in 'Ray'?

   • By-the-numbers, Oscar-hungry biopic about the late, great singer Ray Charles. There is one -- exactly one -- great scene in *Ray*. It occurs during a flashback to Charles' youth, after the boy become completely blind. Running into the sharecropper house which he shares with his mother, he trips over a chair and sprawls on the floor.

   Why is Ray a bad movie?

   • But RAY focuses too much on Charles' personal life, and not enough of the process, inspiration, collaboration, or the passion that made the music. It also tries to cover too long a time span, and has too many undeveloped peripheral characters.

   Who plays Ray Charles in 'Ray'?

   • Sign in to vote. 'Ray' tells the wonderful story of multi-talented musician, the late Ray Charles, played flawlessly by Jamie Foxx. Not only do we forget that it's Foxx (thanks to the uncanny resemblance and mastered gestures and voice) but all we see is the character Ray Charles.

   Is Ray Foxx a good actor?

   • Foxx too is a pure revelation, and thoroughly deserved his Academy Award as Ray - he becomes immersed in the role, nailing all of the singer's physical ticks, verbal mannerisms & intonations, and crucially the effects of the heroin addiction on his persona; it's a bravura performance, likely to stand amongst the finest in Foxx's career.

   The movie about his troubled life is good, not great. Taylor Hackford's direction and James L. White's script follow the well-worn biopic outline. Super-talented youngster battles adversity, achieves greatness while also self-destructing, then picks himself up out of the gutter for a happy ending.
