Overall, George & Tammy is as evocative as it is entertaining. Chastain shows off her exceptional range as an actress, and she'll likely have a head start on next year's Emmy Awards by the end of the limited series' run — it'll be a shame if she and Shannon don't earn nominations, at the very least. ... The series is easily one of the best musical biopics released in recent memory. Read full review

The whole of it is enlivened by incredible work from Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon, who exchange show-stopping singing moments and come packaged with a strong sense of passion, along with a knowing, exciting taste for sincere kitsch. Read full review

The necessary biopic parts are all here. But George & Tammy is buoyed remarkably by its two terrific leads, with Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain embodying the best and worst about the country stars as both distinct individuals and two people in a loving but combative celebrity relationship.

“George & Tammy” is at times overwrought, and the dialogue occasionally veers into soap opera territory. But, thanks in large part to Shannon and Chastain delivering powerful, fiery, larger-than-life performances suitable for the characters they’re portraying, it’s a compelling period-piece melodrama, filled with impressive musical performances.

As biopics go, “George & Tammy” is better than most, beautifully acted, nicely filmed, full of music and not lacking for crazy, infamous events. But a series that claims to represent real historical events can lead one to wonder, distractedly, what truly happened and what was embellished or didn’t happen at all. ... For much of the six episodes, you may feel as if you’re watching a riff on “A Star Is Born.” Read full review

As a story, “George & Tammy” follows familiar beats that have been covered with more economy in similar biopic feature films. It’s not a deeper or more resonant story because it’s told as a six-part series. Read full review

While it nails the fundamental music-biography beats, it can’t find the spark or soul that characterizes the best country songs. Read full review

Great acting performances. The story is so worth telling (as many times as anyone likes). There is no need to add extra drama, the dynamic energy was there in the true events. The only problem (and the actors have admitted this) that not too many people would care about 2 popular singersGreat acting performances. The story is so worth telling (as many times as anyone likes). There is no need to add extra drama, the dynamic energy was there in the true events. The only problem (and the actors have admitted this) that not too many people would care about 2 popular singers with tragic arcs and bigger than life personalities, if they did not have unique signing voices that 1) make them so popular in the first place, and b) still make their music timeless and iconic. Watching it and enjoying it, but I have to go back and watch the real thing on youtube later to capture the magic.… Expand
