This movie took me to a dark emotional place that I was not expecting...JHud did the best acting I've ever seen her do...like the Queen Aretha, J has been through so many personal battles it's hard to believe she is still standing. Beautiful women, inside and out

lol, mary j. blige calling church folk the nastiest people out here too funny, lol, i bust out laughing in theatre when i heard that, kinda true, lol, 😆

I know people are admiring Jennifer and Mary's performance in this, but can we also admire Marlon Wayan's performance for Ted White? I wasn't expecting him to do a role like this much like his other role in Requiem for a Dream.

Marlon definitely did his thing. Seeing him go the Marlon we know to a more serious role 👏🏽

Oh how my heart ached and broke for that precious young girl. I wanted to jump inside the movie and grab her and adopt her before she got abused. Made me cry even harder over the scene at her birthday just after her Mom died. Two big devastations back to back. Also, JH's performance was through and through lovable/skilled/talented. What an honor for her.

I love how Dinah schools her then within the same breath inquire about the kids’ father. Just like an “auntie “ should do.

I wanna see Mary playing Dinah Washington now...lol

Thanks for this wonderful performance Jennifer Hudson. You sang and acted your butt off on this one - and all the singing was done LIVE! Lord knows Aretha is surely proud of you on this. Nominations and recognition for your performance have been coming in too for your leading actress role - The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, Image Awards, Viewer's Choice Awards, and that does not even include the songs that have received Golden Globe and Grammy nomination recognition too! Wish you good luck Jen. You got it!

Mary j Blige is a real good actress.

I love the way Mary said “Liar!” 😂. I’ve been saying it that way since hearing it. 😂

Man Jennifer Hudson sung her azz off at the end of the movie. 💯

Wow, no Oscar nomination. It’s a tragedy what they did to you J HUD. I’m boycotting the Oscar’s in honor of this performance that can be compared to Angela Basset in “What’s Love Got to do with it”. No one will play Aretha Franklin as great as you.

Reaching calm down. Dinah nurtured Aretha and loved her, you may see hate because you only know of love to be one way but she was def showing an aunties or even mentor kind of love. She didn’t have that love and respect for everybody.

I feel like the movie should have started around this scene. Everything Mary (Dinah) said in this scene pretty much sums up what the movie had been about up until this point. It would have saved them A LOT of time cause the screenplay was too long.

I'm here for Marlon Wayans who was so impressive in Requiem for a Dream that he surpassed Robert Deniro as my favorite actor. I'm not a huge fan of Jennifer Holiday but her acting seems decent here. I'll buy this. It looks good!

AMAZING!!!

Aretha: *Starts singing* A few seconds later Aretha: *Runs off stage*

She wasnt nominated for an oscar which she really expected

Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige has likely reunited in that scene of this movie 🎬. Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige had once joined up together since the 2013 musical drama film 🎥 Black Nativity with Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett.

Isn't this an Etta James story tho? Isn't she the one who sang a Dinah song in front of Dinah and ran off the stage crying for it? Correct me if im wrong. I read that story on David Ritz Respect: Aretha Franklin biography

@@RellupNorth I know but that wasn’t my question

Aretha Franklin deserved respect, however she spent more time I think pretending and covering up,things that were quite obviously the business of anybody, but things about the way she was raised. I think Rev. Franklin allowed Ms. Franklin to be around things and see things,a young girl should have never been subjected to. I think that her upbringing was shadowed in darkness,that she always tried to make it seemed perfect. She did peculiar things,like calling the tabloids to make up stories,if a certain amount of time went by,without her being in the news. Her life was very different, but she spent all her time making up stories about its greatness,granted she had greatness,but had to cover up lots of tumultuous things. All her work with Civil Rights and the prestigious name she made for her self. She always veered away from questions regarding her father,because I think a lot of painful things she experienced she did so at the hand of her father. That circuit she was running around in at such a young age,should have never been. She was in rooms with scantly sultry women,and for that reason, her innocence and childhood was stolen from her. I hope that in her next world she’s able to free herself from those painful years,and memories. It’s sad that because of her dealings with Rev. King,the FBI had open files on her. I hope she’s found happiness,in the places that surrounded her in grief and misery. God. Bless,you Ms.Franklin…prayers offered for the repose of your soul.
