Get on Up Ratings & Reviews

  • Eric BakkeJanuary 26, 2025
    Chadwick Boseman delivers a powerhouse performance as James Brown. His line, 'I don’t know anything about music theory. All I know is what I hear. If it feels good, it’s good. And if it don’t feel good, it’s no good,' perfectly encapsulates the raw genius and artistic instinct that defined Brown’s music.
