The pacing is brisk for a biopic, covering years quickly, but the musical numbers and period detail carry real energy. It plays like a rise-and-fall story with genuine warmth for its subjects, even as it doesn't shy from their struggles.
the recreation of classic Motown performances and the chemistry among the group's five members.
