Negative Positive
Title: The Music Will Stand Forever....
Review: ....but the film is subpar, TV fare. While much has been made of Jamie Foxx's performance, the fact is, he teeters between comedy and being an outright minstrel. The strongest supporting role accolades go to the underrated Clifton Powell as longtime road manager/assistant Jeff, the man who keeps Ray grounded and in touch with his morals and obligations. As I stated before, the music is timeless and never goes out of style and a documentary about the man and his creative process would have served his legacy better than this fodder, but since audience expectations are so low and the Oscar race/hype machine has to start somewhere, "RAY" is as good a place as any. Vastly Overrated.
Is the review positive or negative?
