This movie captured the way people talked in the 50's beautiful and I felt like I had a time machine back to the early days of Ray Charles' life.

Jamie Foxx's performance is by all means amazing and you actually think at times its actually Ray Charles.

The elements of impersonation never become mimicry and Foxx's work in this role is nothing short of extraordinary...some of Ray's music is dubbed with Charles' voice and Jamie does some singing too but Foxx's performance is so precise, it's hard to tell when Ray is singing and when Foxx is.
