Jennifer Hudson most recently played Aretha Franklin in Liesl Tommy’s biopic Respect. The late singer had given the actor her blessing, with Hudson saying of their meeting in an interview with NME: “You know when you have your game face on, but inside you’re like ‘what in the world?’ It was exciting, but also scary.”







In a four-star review of the film, NME called Respect “a film with heart, as well as an awful lot of soul.”
