Cadillac Records
Directed by Darnell Martin7.066%66%7.1
Wanneer de joodse clubeigenaar Leonard Chess en de pas in het grote Chicago gearriveerde plantagearbeider en muzikaal talent Muddy Waters hun krachten besluiten te bundelen, is dit het begin van het legendarische blueslabel Chess Records. In het vervolg van de jaren '40 en '50 maken zij van de blues een populaire muziekstroming die met de komst van artiesten als Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry en Etta James zelfs rasoverschrijdend wordt. Helaas gaat het succes ook gepaard met de nodige interne strubbelingen zoals drugs, alcohol en overspel.

Cadillac Records Ratings & Reviews
- elliotclowes2 juni 2025This is a curious one. At times this feels paint-by-numbers and a bit cringe – with some over the top acting. And the second half of the film, with Etta James (Beyoncé Knowles) and Chuck Berry (Mos Def), is no where near as good as the first half. It’s all a bit rushed and shallow. It needed to steal 10-15 minutes from the first half, which was much slower paced. However, you can help but like the film. It’s got fun, romance and great music. And the music is done good. Musical biopics often have too little music, or too much. Or simply spend too much time in one area. This has a nice amount of musical and personal. Cadillac Records possesses an infectious enthusiasm that's difficult to resist. And I repeat: you can’t help but like it.
- Mister Arn17 mei 2025"Cadillac Records" has its moments, but if the writers are going to play loose with the facts, they could at least craft a better story. After watching the film, I found myself seeking out and enjoying the music that Chess Records introduced to the world.
- breal050915 april 2026Great movie love the music 🎶
- MR_BigTime28 maart 2026Cadillac Records needed to be longer in order to keep the slow burn pace it started with. Other than that, it was wonderfully executed. I particualrly loved Colombus Short (Little Walter), Eamonn Walker (Howlin' Wolf) and Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def (Chuck Berry) performances.
