...somehow, even after seventeen tedious years of development, Ray, based on Charles’ life, does not muster any semblance of the splendor within his music. The film lacks emotional attachment on any level and fails in every way as a meaningful addition to his life and legacy.

Acknowledging a long ovation, he can muster only brief, brave smiles; the sting of defeat has stripped him of his usual self-consciousness and he's the more appealing for it.
