8/10
Entertaining from start to finish and wonderful performances make "Dolemite" one of the year's best - 8/10 ⭐
1 November 2019
Based on the true story of Rudy Ray Moore, Dolemite Is My Name pays a wonderful homage to both the time period and era of films in which Moore resided while also providing a wonderfully entertaining story from start to finish. Eddie Murphy carries the film beautifully and his versatility as both a comedic and dramatic shines through in one his best performances in years. Similar to Ed Wood (1994), this story shows the hard work and persistence put in by an individual facing a whole heap of adversity and how, against all odds, they are able to find some semblance of success against all odds. Great stuff Netflix!
