Ray

Rating:	★★★★

I watched this on a flight to Miami, so I will not comment on the picture or sound quality.

Jamie Foxx does a very good impression of Ray Charles. This film traces his life from moving to the big city to play professionally up until his recovery from herion addiction. He certainly had some personal issues. As well as being a junkie he was a serial adulterer.

There are lots of flashbacks to his childhood that sometimes involve hallucinations. These help to explain why he was so messed up.

The acting is very good and I have to admit I was quite moved.

Oh, and the music is excellent.
