REVIEW - RESPECT

UK release date 10 September 21

The story of Aretha Franklin and the struggles she faced both from the over powering men in her life to racism.

Jennifer Hudson plays the part of Aretha Franklin and whilst no one can come close Jennifer Hudson is simply amazing in the role.

Of course the story of a person's life can't be condensed into a film, only the high / low points and quite a bit is skipped over, for example the father of her first children but when making such a film about such an amazing singer I suppose at some point someone has to decide what stays and what goes, either way simply an amazing film to see and as a huge fan of Soul one I couldn't miss.

Compelling, acting amazing but of course the songs, need I say more!

Rating 8 out of 10.
