Atom User Reviews for Respect
Incredible! Outstanding! Very moving and inspiring! Jennifer Hudson deserve an academy award for her portrayal of Aretha! Definitely a must see!! 👏
Her songs take on a new perspective, after learning what ignited most of her hits.
Great movie, Jennifer Hudson gave the best performance of a lifetime portraying the Icon Aretha Franklin. Forest Whittaker was outstanding. I wish Mary J Blige character had few more scenes. She was fantastic. Overall great movie...Movie Of The Year. RESPECT!
This is the type of message this world needs today, even in death Aretha Franklins message is very much still alive! Very inspiring! Jennifer Hudson, I think you will add your second Academy Award on your mantel.
This was AMAZING! I learned so much about Aretha Franklin and all she went through in her life. Jennifer Hudson did a fantastic job! I would see it again, and again...
Great Singing performance
Jennifer Hudson did a very great job but I expected the movie to be better overall. It was okay, not as powerful and moving as I thought that it would be.
i had such high hopes for this movie but it bombed
Music Frees you. Do not give up when life brings you down
Hudson, Mary J and Whittaker were great. l really did not know how badly her life had been, but survived all odds especially in earlier times.
Totally Amazing ‼️‼️ Jennifer Hudson be Oscar Readyyy🌟 hunni...she did that! Aretha Franklin our Queen👑

What a great movie! #Hudsational..love her in this movie..its a must see 👀.
This movie here is one of the most exciting must see show in a long time! Jennifer Hudson was truly Epic!! She deserves every award there is for this one!! I cried and sang at the same time!!
it was good movie
Respect is great. Jennifer Hudson is amazing. I cried several times.
It was quite musical but also moved slowly in plot and dialogue.
I Was in tears
As a departure from all the war/ action/ adventure movies, it was a breath of fresh air, but sadly, it was also formulaic and way too safe. Aretha Franklin’s life was filled with pain inflicted on her largely by men, but clearly the producers of this movie didn’t want to…
Was looking forward to seeing this movie and boy what a dud! Movie was so disappointing and couldn’t wait for it to end!
Taking my Mom for her Birthday she’s 79…she loves music!
I love the movie the only thing that had me a little Puzzled was I didn't know arisa was that proper speaking
IT WAS GREAT I WISH MY GRANDMA WAS HERE FOR HER TO SEE J HUD PLAY RE RE
If you knew how Aretha's life went you knew her struggles and heartache already. Seeing it put on the big screen I had so many emotions. I laughed, cried and even cheered her on. Watching this movie helped understand all the emotion she put behind all of her songs.
#phenomenal
Took the ladies of my life with my. Mom, Sister, and GF. They loved it. especially my mom. She grew up to all that music. Timeless.
This movie was everything! Definitely award winning movie ❤️
BEST movie of 2021 hands down!!!
I love this movie
A must see
Awesome music and acting! Now I know why Aretha hand-picked Jennifer for this role. She was amazing! Oscar worthy!!!
Music wonderful
Must See Movie!!!! 🔥👍🏾
It was an experience!!! Jennifer Hudson played the heck out of that movie. It really moved me with tears in my eyes. Aretha Franklin would be proud!!! She should get every award out there.
GREAT MOVIE IT MADE ME CRY
Jennifer Hudson played the part some well, she took me back to my childhood; where I set watching my mom sing all of the “ Queen of Soul”songs. Thank you Miss Hudson
Defined a must see. Jennifer Hudson did an amazing portrayal of Aretha.
Amazing movie!!
Ms. Franklin was right in choosing J HUD to portray her. The cast was phenomenal! Songs were nostalgic, singing sent chills down my spine. This film is definitely award buzz worthy!
I love that this movie was very inspiring and it was so real Jennifer Hudson did a very good job and so did Damon Williams all the characters was good in this movie
Epic Performance By Jennifer Hudson..!
Metacritic
The preceding two-plus hours of this 145-minute slog — Tommy’s threadbare hodgepodge of bad impressions, gratuitous filmmaking, and even worse depictions of mental health — isn’t even a shadow of the real natural woman.
The casting is the only part of the movie that feels genuine, with Hudson channeling the Dreamgirls emotive performance that earned her an early career Oscar.
Similar to other recent musical biopic vehicles like Judy and The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Respect never reaches the greatness of its shining star.
