Jamie Foxx is excellent, and sturdily supported by [James L.] White's script all the way.

Eminently worth seeing.

To describe Foxx's performance here is to gush, and so gush we will.

I wanted excellent, but it's only mediocre.
February 05, 2011
A powerhouse performance piece for Jamie Foxx and a rock solid biopic.

Jamie Foxx's all-encompassing performance in the title role more than justifies the early Oscar gossip it has generated.
November 02, 2004
Vibrantly intelligent and tough-minded.
December 28, 2010
Excellent portrayal of extraordinary musician.
May 16, 2007
Potent and vibrant as far as the music goes, but reticent, self-conscious and pretty much stuck on unexplored surfaces when it comes to this creative giant's complex life and times.
October 29, 2004
Foxx does what he's supposed to. He steals his own show.
June 21, 2007
Give Jamie Foxx the damn Oscar already, it's done.
October 31, 2004
Sure, it's the Jamie Foxx breakout role. But the movie around it is so systematically 'inspirational' that it comes perilously close to sabotaging the breakout.
