Respect
This is Aretha Franklin’s (Jennifer Hudson) rise-to-fame story beginning at 10 years old singing in her reverend daddy’s (Forrest Whitaker) church choir. See her struggles with her demons & the people around her who influenced her & tried to control her as she searched to find her voice & her respect. Hear some of her famous hits & see her musical creativity. Hudson is spectacular portraying the Queen of Soul. See a performance by the real Aretha Franklin at the film’s end.
Alien gives it 3 “Re-re-re-re” stars out of 4.
