[GET ON UP] thrillingly captures the frenzy of Brown’s music, and the forces driving that frenzy, both musical and personal.
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Director Tate Taylor's electrifying, energised portrait of James Brown rapidly takes a left turn away from formula via the musician's colourful brush with rock bottom.
Times (UK)
Chadwick Boseman gives a startling and galvanic performance.

New Yorker
4 stars out of 5 -- Energising, stylish and engrossing....Boseman is brilliant...
Empire
Rating: 2.5/5 --
If it weren't for the magnetic, utterly watchable central performance from a prolific Chadwick Boseman, Get On Up would be a miserly, unapologetically sterilized biopic.

3 stars out of 5 -- The music is -- as you’d expect -- sensational, and the production design elegantly conveys the radical shifts in period.
Total Film
[Boseman] lets it loose in a firehose of charisma, determination, fury and unbridled funkiness.
Washington Post
Product Description:
Chadwick Boseman stars as James Brown in this biopic from Universal Studios and director Tate Taylor (THE HELP). From a childhood spent in poverty to his emergence as the Godfather of Soul, Brown's incredible life story is one of talent, determination, and perseverance. Brian Grazer, Mick Jagger, Victoria Pearman, and Erica Huggins produce a film co-penned in part by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (FAIR GAME).
