Fully deserved Oscar! - Ray review by CP Customer
As a Ray Charles fan I approached this nervously, but Jamie Foxx's voice was absolutely amazing.
The story was well told and even though we all know how it ended, it was well worth the journey

Ray does his thing - Ray review by NC
Sex and drugs and Ray. He was a busy boy. If he had not lost his sight may not have been so resilient. Certainly had a great time. Playing music, shooting up, and getting loads of ladies in tow. Who needs rock and roll?
Jamie does well as Ray. Saw the extended version and was doable.

Great performance from jamie fox and Kerry Washington - Ray review by CM
Brilliant Performance from Jamie fox and Kerry Washington.
Having lost his sight following witnessing his younger brother drowning.
It was good to see him rehabilitate. The acting was fantastic.
The music was fab, Jamie fox sounded authentic.
It was also interesting to see the film deal with issues like segregation racial division in America
