Greatest movie ever
Well done. Jennifer Hudson was outstanding. Costumes, Music, Actors were all 100% on point. Movie brought tears at the end. I loved every minute of it and will see it again.
Story, singing and costumes were excellent
Really liked RESPECT, the actress was awesome. The music and the voices was uncreditable, awesome. brilliant. I am a movie goer, this movie was one of the best I have seen in a very long time, I will see it again!
If you enjoy her music you will not be disappointed. I appreciated learning more about her skills and life. While she had her life challenges the movie did not shy away from them nor over focus on them.
Jennifer Hudson does a magnificent job of portraying Aretha Franklin's complicated life and genious. The movie both educates us and celebrates the meaningful music created by Aretha Franklin.
Jennifer Hudson's well researched portrayal, Forest Whitaker's stellar performance and Marlon Wayans well acted, out of his genre performance.
Bringing an incredible mix of gestural subtlety and musical power, it cannot be said enough what Hudson achieves here by transmitting a rich sense of interiority, staying true to who Franklin was in private with every look given, word spoken, and melisma sung
Outstanding movie along with Respect Soundtrack. Jennifer Hudson performance is superb and Oscar worthy.
