Ray - 6

This was a good movie that dealt well with the complexity of telling the story of the life of Ray Charles Robinson. Jamie Foxx is very good in the role of Ray. The only criticism I have of the movie is that the writer starts to develop these sub story lines, and does not do a good job of following through on them. For, example, the manager that is stealing from him, or isn't. It is rather confusing, because different characters give different clues to what is true, and it is really a minor point. It was also disappointing that due to time, they started to just sum up the last 30 years of his life in written form with the highlights. I think that the director could have told the story more simply. The film overall is not very cohesive. The music is great, and it re-confirms Ray Charles as a musical genius.
