Ray

2 and one half stars
Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx rightly deserved an Oscar for this portrayal of this music mogul. The movie was fascinating and engaging but not enjoyable. There was no redeaming value to this film. I was rivited to the screen and enthralled with the music but there was no feeling at the conclusion that made me feel like I was glad I watched this movie. I do not advocate a buble gum happy ending - becasue surely this is not a part of Ray Charles later years. I really don't think the movie could have been made any other way but I also can't draw any other outlook on the film I watched. It is what it is and I recomend it.
