Truly, there was only one Mahalia Jackson. However, Ledisi is very good in this. I love seeing her stretch her vocal ability. I give a 9/10 for being a convincing Mahalia.
I wouldn't go as far as putting her speaking voice in the same category but Ledisi is playing her part. I also the story is a 10/10. It's quite a bit more interesting than looking for portrayal flaws.
I also like the cast!. It is so well rounded! I love veteran actors and actresses! I like seeing folks of color working. We're on TV Y'all!
I would hughly recommend this movie. The nostalgia alone will take you there. Highly recommended!
