I could only get through part of it. Renee is a fine actress but this portrayal doesn't work. Renee pops off the screen, there is no judy. Do you recall Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn in Aviator, if that was OK for you, you won't beI could only get through part of it. Renee is a fine actress but this portrayal doesn't work. Renee pops off the screen, there is no judy. Do you recall Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn in Aviator, if that was OK for you, you won't be bothered but it is that bad for me. If you are after the history because your grandmother loved Judy Garland than this will be fine. But if you know Judy Garland's voice and inflections then this will be fingernails on a chalkboard.… Expand

It is slightly regretful that Zellweger is considered a lock for Best Actress (people were saying this two months before the film was released and at least six months before the ceremony itself) because my hope would be that the performanceIt is slightly regretful that Zellweger is considered a lock for Best Actress (people were saying this two months before the film was released and at least six months before the ceremony itself) because my hope would be that the performance would come from a better-written and more interesting film than this. This is not to fault Zellweger per se – she does a wonderful job in what is a standard biopic role – but there is nothing about this film that is particularly memorable or special (other than the opening and closing scenes – for ALL the wrong reasons). Judy is better directed than it is written, it has a good supporting turn from Wittrock, Gambon and Buckley are unfortunately largely wasted, but this is ultimately The Renee Show. I think I would rather watch the scenery-chewing high camp of Zellweger’s femme fatale in the Netflix show What/If – which at least knows it’s ridiculous – than ever watch this again. A shame.… Expand

As a Judy fan I was grossed out at the attempted narrative of the Idol that was Judy. How could a Movie that was depicting Judy's life miss so much of the story! It went from her movie hit Wizard of oz. To her London shows. There was noAs a Judy fan I was grossed out at the attempted narrative of the Idol that was Judy.

1) MGM mistreatment of her body and her drugging That caused so many problems in her mental state
2) her comparing to other women in the industry at the time like Heidi lamarr and how many times they placed her on diets of cottage cheese and chicken soup. 3) her other movies no mention of meet me in St. Luis no Harvey girls, no Zigfield Girls not even the mistreatment that the choreographer gave her during the filming of Easter parade and 4) her leaving MGM and Eating a Hamburger for the first time
5) her relationship with men and how her mother forced them on her. And the husband that they did depict did not go into detail about how he abused both her and her children. 6) her show, the flop that was pirate or her recasting in valley of the dolls. 7) Her children having to hide pills and liquor bottles This movie is Oscar bait and I will not stay silent about it, because this woman was a legend and has had enough mistreatment from her image and other people. If you want to watch a movie about judy at least keep her Voice in! I did not enjoy the the music being Re dubbed.… Expand

Yes Zellweger is good but she is not outstanding, the film itself is lackluster and forgettable.
