Excellent biography of Judy Garland's later years after she was no longer making movies. Renee Zellweger does a marvellous job portraying the troubled woman she became after all the fame in her youth. The audiences remembered and loved her singing. Sadly her health both mental and physical were not good and so she died young.
There was much expectation looking forward to what should have been a great biopic, sadly not so. While I don't wish to diminish the tragic life story portrayed in Judy, it is not riveting viewing. The film is peppered with small flashbacks which barely demonstrate and don't do justice the pressure Garland was under as a child. Zelwegger is good in the role but not great however the hollywood oscar machine would have us believe this to be otherwise. Had this not been about their own hollywood royalty I would suggest a nomination would have been as far as it would have got. It is simply not in the league of other biopics such as a “beautiful mind” or “the theory of everything”. Best wait till it hits the sales before buying.
Renée Zellweger gives an outstanding performance as Judy Garland!
Thirty years after starring in “The Wizard of Oz,” beloved actress and singer Judy Garland arrives in London to perform sold-out shows at the Talk of the Town nightclub. While there, she reminisces with friends and fans and begins a whirlwind romance with musician Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband.
Critic reviews for Judy
“The tragedy that plagued Garland's cruelly short life, the enormity of her talent and the devotion of her fans all leave a lasting impression in a film that clearly seeks to honour its subject.”
“Zellweger sings the classic Garland songbook with such astounding accuracy there won't be a dry eye in the house come the sensational Over the Rainbow finale.”
“Zellweger's take on Judy Garland is charming, delightful, broken, funny, in-the-moment, and unstoppable.”
