"R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me.” Those words from Aretha’s most famous song chart the goal of the film, from debuting feature director Liesel Tommy, as it covers 20 years from the singer’s childhood to her iconic 1972 live recording of"Amazing Grace."On stage, Aretha introduces “Respect” by saying, “This song goes out to anyone who’s ever felt mistreated.
It’s damaging that the film, written by Tracey Scott Wilson, prefers to skim an extraordinary life rather than do the digging necessary to give the undisputed Queen of Soul a cinema biography worthy of her personal complexities and indisputable artistry.When Hudson takes over from Turner, Aretha is still doing her father’s bidding until her controlling first husband, Ted White , starts calling the shots.
