...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. With a mix of deceitful, manipulative Hollywood storytelling techniques masquerading as artistic strokes and tacky, unfocused, pop filmmaking, director Taylor Hackford manages to turn an amazing story of sheer will triumphing over adversity into a two-and-a-half hour mess that will damage Charles’ memory...
...while dressed as Pamela Anderson, a bizarrely homoerotic fraternity striptease involving the American flag, and some unwholesome shots of Katie Holmes’s famed cleavage—but sadly these scenes are too infrequent and not nearly ridiculous enough to carry the audience through Sam’s tedious series of trials and tribulations...

But about 1,000 compounds seemed to slow the virus...

Yet she still features on those media-friendly lists of British young bloods to watch out for, and reviewers still struggle to pin her down; Kennedy harvests and grades their comments on her website and is particularly fond of an early one accusing her of "making misery tedious." Hannah Luckraft's misery is making her drink herself to death: Paradise opens in hell, in the kind of hangover that is most quickly cured by getting drunk again. Her career - "something in cardboard" - is hanging by a thread, her grasp on reality starting to slip. Her loving family...
