The best thing the movie has going for it is Chadwick Boseman's live-wire channeling of Brown. With his gravity-defying pompadour, raspy jive patter, and quicksilver shimmy-slide dance steps, the 42 star sweats through a two-hour funk workout…
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
[T]his show ultimately belongs to [Chadwick] Boseman. He captures the groove, soul and even [James] Brown's incompressible speech and his performance is electric.

Flick Feast
Whenever producers weakly say they couldn't find good Black actresses for roles that usually end up going to white women, I can't help thinking of all the talented Black women going to waste in films like this one.

Bitch Flicks
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)
[Boseman] lets it loose in a firehose of charisma, determination, fury and unbridled funkiness.
Washington Post
Many of Brown's most celebrated appearances are re-created in all their funk and glory…
Wall Street Journal
3 stars out of 5 -- The music is -- as you’d expect -- sensational, and the production design elegantly conveys the radical shifts in period.
