Respect (2021) is a biographical drama that traces the rise of the legendary Aretha Franklin, from her early years singing in her father’s church to becoming the undisputed Queen of Soul. Starring Jennifer Hudson in an Oscar-nominated performance, the film explores Franklin’s extraordinary talent, personal struggles, and the journey toward artistic and personal independence. Blending powerful musical numbers with an intimate portrait of a woman finding her voice, Respect is both a celebration of a cultural icon and a story about resilience, freedom, and self-definition.
