Dolemite Is My Name

Netflix, en produisant ce film et en le lançant aussi dans des salles de cinéma, rend indirectement hommage à ces grands palaces qui étaient devenus dans les années 70-80 des salles de projection de films pour la population afro-américaine des centres-villes.

À commencer par Eddie Murphy, initiateur du projet, survolté dans une composition qui marque son grand retour, après une série de bides. Wesley Snipes est également hilarant en réalisateur-acteur imbu de lui-même.

'Dolemite Is My Name" is a typical biopic buoyed by its unrelenting hilarity, its affection for its subject and commitment to the time and place it is set.

Perhaps the best-ever comedy about the making of a cult hit, it's mainly a spectacular vehicle for Murphy's buoyant comic gifts.

Rudy Ray Moore's Dolemite never broke through to a white mainstream, but is now having (...).

As the brash hustler who made 'Dolemite,' Eddie Murphy has his best role in years in a film that's like a blaxploitation answer to 'The Disaster Artist.'

He pays tribute to real-life club comic Rudy Ray Moore, a pioneer in the rude-crude-untamed humor that paved the way for him and others.

I hope they make a sequel tackling some of his other movies, like AVENGING DISCO GODFATHER!

Eddie Murphy delivers what is not just his best performance in a long time, but one of the best of his career - and it doesn't hurt that the rest of the film is pretty damn great as well.
