Respect

I went to see this film today and was really excited, but this film didn't deliver what I thought it would.

Jennifer Hudson is phenomenal as Aretha Franklin, she has an incredible voice and portrayed her really well.

But there wasn't too much plot to follow, and if you're gonna put Mary J. In a biopic about Aretha, make her do more, she pretty much appeared and disappeared.

Also, Marlon Wayans could've been better, the scene in the hotel where he keeps calling that guy a redneck felt tacked on and cringey.

This film is also way too long, at least 20 minutes could've been cut, the opening was way too stretched out and the church scene was the same.

In the end respect was a bit of a disappointment, and I'm gonna give it a C+
