Movie Reviews

Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- "Energising, stylish and engrossing....Boseman is brilliant..." - 11/14/2014 Empire


3 stars out of 5 -- "The music is -- as you’d expect -- sensational, and the production design elegantly conveys the radical shifts in period." - 11/17/2014 Total Film


"Chadwick Boseman is charismatic as Brown -- a violent, manipulative perfectionist who is emotionally disconnected from those around him. The script, by British playwright Jez Butterworth and his brother John-Henry, is driving, constant, fluid." - 11/21/2014 Uncut


"Boseman's nuanced performance hints at a transformation from cocky extrovert into a shark-like businessman who's as much a performer offstage as on it." - 10/01/2014 Sight and Sound


3 stars out of 4 -- "Boseman tears into the role like a man possessed. You can't take your eyes off him." - 07/31/2014 Rolling Stone


3 stars out of 4 -- "The musical numbers, with Brown's remixed vocals and Boseman re-creating his signature dance moves, are mesmerizing." - 07/31/2014 USA Today


"The best thing the movie has going for it is Chadwick Boseman's live-wire channeling of Brown. With his gravity-defying pompadour, raspy jive patter, and quicksilver shimmy-slide dance steps, the 42 star sweats through a two-hour funk workout…" - 08/11/2014 Entertainment Weekly


3 stars out of 4 -- "It’s the powerful, raw, energized performance by Chadwick Boseman that makes this film worth seeing." - 07/31/2014 Chicago Sun-Times


"[GET ON UP] thrillingly captures the frenzy of Brown’s music, and the forces driving that frenzy, both musical and personal." - 08/01/2014 New York Times


"Many of Brown's most celebrated appearances are re-created in all their funk and glory…" - 07/31/2014 Wall Street Journal


"[With] a star performance by Chadwick Boseman that's little short of heroic…" - 07/31/2014 Los Angeles Times


"[Boseman] lets it loose in a firehose of charisma, determination, fury and unbridled funkiness." - 08/01/2014 Washington Post


"[O]ne thing that’s faultless is its star, Chadwick Boseman, who plays Brown from age 16 to 60 with a dexterity and invention worthy of his subject." - 07/28/2014 Variety
