Respect Biopic

Fans of the Queen of Soul won’t want to miss Respect – a musical drama about the life of legendary rhythm and blues songstress Aretha Franklin. Starting out singing in her father’s church, Aretha’s talent is recognised early. But talent alone is not enough to turn her into a star. With four albums under her belt, she is still virtually an unknown to the world at large, until a word of advice lights a fire in her soul and she starts listening to herself – and writing and singing her own songs. Jennifer Hudson plays Franklin in a career-defining role.
