Amazingly enjoyable
Ok, so I am a huge Etta James and Aretha Franklin fan. I always felt that Jennifer Hudson would have done Etta James more justice, but no - I am so proud of Hollywood saving this movie for her - so well deserved and so well done! The three movies about powerful women in music What I love is, "What's love got to do with it", about Tina Turner, then Cadillac Records came out, and not saying Beyoncé was bad because she was amazing! Then, I just watched Respect, and Hollywood, you got it right for all three! I loved every moment of this movie and the songs. Not to mention, Maroln Wayne's, you killed it! Such a fabulous move and I hold it near and dear to my heart with the other two! These three movies give and provide the perfect portrayal of these women... all three, done perfect! Angela Basset as Tina, Beyoncé as Etta and Jennifer Hudson as Aretha - you killed it and I'm sure you made the blues/jazz music world, PROUD! Thank you, thank you, thank you, times a million! - lynncolesgp - 19 July 2022

No one, I say absolutely no one could have captured the spirit and the voice of Aretha Franklin like she did. Well done.
This movie inspired me, made me want to know more about Aretha Franklin. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.
