Dolemite Is My Name is a new Netflix original movie added to the streaming service on Friday, Oct. 25. In the film, Eddie Murphy stars as Rudy Ray Moore, who rose to fame for his alter ego Dolemite in comedy shows and movies during the 1970s and 1980s. This movie tells part of Moore’s story.
This film has an incredible cast with Wesley Snipes, Keegan-Michael Key, Craig Robinson and more. It’s definitely a must-watch on the streaming service. Netflix is spending big money on their original films, and this is an example of the network committing to compelling storytelling with an A-lister on board.
Dolemite Is My Name should definitely be considered for the Oscars this year. Murphy delivers an incredible performance, and I’m really hoping he gets the recognition he deserves. This is one of the best Netflix original movies so far, and I’m guessing it will be that way for a long time.
