    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    Jamie Foxx's uncannily accurate performance isn't the only good thing about Ray. Riding high on a wave of Oscar buzz, Foxx proved himself worthy of all the hype by portraying blind R&B legend Ray Charles in a warts-and-all performance that Charles approved shortly before his death in June 2004. Despite a few dramatic embellishments of actual incidents (such as the suggestion that the accidental drowning of Charles's younger brother caused all the inner demons that Charles would battle into adulthood), the film does a remarkable job of summarizing Charles's strengths as a musical innovator and his weaknesses as a philandering heroin addict who recorded some of his best songs while flying high as a kite. Foxx seems to be channeling Charles himself, and as he did with the life of Ritchie Valens in La Bamba, director Taylor Hackford gets most of the period details absolutely right as he chronicles Ray's rise from "chitlin circuit" performer in the early '50s to his much-deserved elevation to legendary status as one of the all-time great musicians. Foxx expertly lip-syncs to Ray Charles' classic recordings, but you could swear he's the real deal in a film that honors Ray Charles without sanitizing his once-messy life. --Jeff Shannon

    5 out of 5 stars Ray   January 2, 2010
    Arnita D. Brown (USA)
    Ray Charles was quite a man; this movie not only knows it, but understands it. Jamie Foxx gives a landmark performance in this movie. It takes all of five seconds, tops, to believe that Jamie Foxx is Ray Charles. This movie is amazing.


    5 out of 5 stars Ray, the movie   December 8, 2009
    Sandra J. Hines (Denver,CO)
    I really enjoyed this movie, I saw it on television months ago, but wanted to see it again. I'm glad I have my own copy now, I can watch it whenever I want to.

    IN THE FIFTIES . . . when the other kids were out-

    side, playing, I was inside . . . Listening to Yhe

    Great RAY CHARLES. It came to be, that the more I

    heard about him --- the more I wanted to hear about him.

    IN the Year 2000 . . . in Akron OHIO, I finally got

    to see -- in person --- MY Childhood Idol. This movie

    makes losing him,some Fifty years later, bearable . . .




    5 out of 5 stars "Ray is first rate"   July 8, 2009
    Scott N. Burton (Fairfield,CT USA)
    Ray Charles (1930-2004) was one of the most revered figures in the history of rhythm & blues music-Frank Sinatra was once quoted as saying that "Ray Charles is the only genius in our business"-That's high praise indeed-Jamie Foxx's portrayal of Charles is outstanding-He nailed everything to perfection-The soundtrack includes these all-time classics:"Hit The Road Jack","Unchain My Heart" & "What'd I Say"-Foxx definitely earned his Best Actor award-If you're a Ray Charles aficionado or someone who enjoys vintage R&B music,this movie's for you.
