Reviews

Polygon

Toussaint Egan

Get on Up is a thoroughly entertaining drama with Boseman shining at its center.

As a biography, it glosses over a lot, but goes to the heart of Brown's charisma, his music and the trauma that drove the iconic performer to such high highs and low lows.

One big chunk of funk with a gold standard performance from Boseman and music that will make you want to... er... get on up.
