If you're hungry for music history and don't mind a messy, occasionally clunky biopic, dive in—the performances from Adrien Brody and Beyoncé elevate the material, and the music catalog is undeniably legendary. But with scores hovering in the mid-60s, this isn't essential viewing; save it for when you're in the mood for gritty 1950s blues drama rather than your next must-watch.

Plot

The story of sex, violence, race and rock and roll in 1950s Chicago, and the exciting but turbulent lives of some of America's musical legends, including Muddy Waters, Leonard Chess, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James and Chuck Berry.

Director: Darnell Martin
