“Amazing Grace” Movie Review: A Eulogy for the Queen of Soul

"It is a time capsule, then, to see a young Franklin walk into the room to a standing ovation — 29 years old and at the height of her powers. The choir, dressed in black with shimmering silver vests, would have been a worthy event all on its own — gospel maestro James Cleveland and his Southern California Community Choir received their own spate of award nominations and victories throughout the ‘70s. This time, though, they are here to take a back seat to the queen."
