Review of Get on Up (2014) by Luis R — 01 Dec 2015
Ambitious directing from Tate Taylor both helps and hinders Get on Up. It pays off when executing some of James Browns' more interesting obstacles but adds some awkward asides from the main character and structural issues.
However, the missteps are glossed over by Chadwick Boseman who gives a mesmerizing performance.
