Scratch a lie, find a thief.

I finally made it to see Ray this weekend (I've been falling down on the job as a movie watcher, it's tragic.) I don't really have that much to say about it, the movie was fabulous. The music is great (clearly), the pacing is solid, and the storytelling just works.

Everyone's been talking about how good Jamie Foxx is as Ray Charles, and I just have to echo that sentiment. There is one scene where he breaks character, opens his eyes, and transforms into someone who isn't Ray Charles. Typically this would be distracting, but in this case it just cements how much Foxx was channeling Charles - especially when he effortlessly switches back.

This was just plain an excellent movie. Well done.


Side note: It was also fun to see Richard Schiff looking totally unrecognizable with hair on his head and no facial hair.
