Loved the movie! The music was phenomenal and the plot mattered. It's a time warp to history that we'll never get to experience. They stayed true to the time and history and have rich insight into the players. I wish more movies were made like this!
The production value was terrific and the acting was engaging and absolutely believable. The music was the real treat. Whether you're a huge fan of the time period, the music, the actors, history, or just a fan of music in general, you will enjoy this movie.
I agree with the positive comments I've seen from other reviewers. I'm going to send a message to Netflix and other streaming sites to get this movie! You should too.

Marshall Chess will be airing the movie starting 12/24/2022 on the Chess Tribute Channel on Youtube. It may be uploaded in segments as the
Youtube announcement notes *Ep 1* in the thumbnail picture. It will be fascinating to see as I am under the impression that this version of the Chess brothers story had the assistance of the Chess family whereas Cadillac Records, covering similar ground was full of fictional and misleading history despite the fine performances of the actors. I've been wondering about it for some time and so am eager to see it next month. Fans of the music will find fascinating stuff at the Youtube Chess Tribute channel.
"Who Do You Love (2010)" provides a great look into the world of music during the 50's and 60's, showing the audience how Blues became extremely popular and how Rock and Roll was created, so if you can expect anything walking in, it's fantastic music. The cast, including Alessandro Nivola (Leonard Chess), David Oyelowo (Muddy Waters), Chi McBride (Willie Dixon), Jon Abrahams (Phil Chess), Lisa Goldstein (Sheva Chess), Megalyn Echikunwoke (Ivy Mills), and Robert Randolph (Bo Diddley), all put on phenomenal performances, all those that did use their musical vocals singing the classic songs that influenced generations as if they were their own. Jerry Zaks, who as a director has spent most of his career so far on television, has proved to handle a feature film quite well, using very good shots and angles as he had with his three episodes of "Two And A Half Men" (Episodes include "Tucked, Taped, and Gorgeous", "Aunt Myra Doesn't Pee A Lot", and "And The Plot Moistens"). Of the movies I have seen that were written by Peter Martin Wortmann and Robert Conte, this is by far their best, with catchy, funny dialogue and smart, well thought out characters and events (even though based on a true story). The movie depicts the start of a new world of music, something that went on to develop and change into a large amount of mini-genres and has shown all it's listeners a new way to express culture, feelings, actions, opinions, and the world in general. "Who Do You Love" is recommended to everyone, but is a must see for lovers of old blues and classic rock and roll as well as the older audience. 7.6/10
