Ray (DVD review)

Ray (2004) starring Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles. The movie is filled with moments of rapture, mostly having to do with Charles' music; it is also filled with moments of despair, having to do with his private life. Jamie Foxx won a well-deserved Oscar for his performance, in which he seems to be Ray Charles. At two and a half hours, however, the movie feels rather long. Yet it feels truncated, because it deals with such a short period in Charles' life. Grade: B
