    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 singers with tragic arcs and bigger than life personalities, if they did not have unique signing voices that 1)Great acting performances.

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

    The performances of Michael Shannon as George and Jessica Chastain as Tammy are dazzling and the chemistry between them sparky. The dialogue, which could have been cliched, is sharp and lean and the singing good (Chastain and Shannon had vocal training for the series).

    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.

    Despite its occasional flaws, George & Tammy manages to reinvigorate a worn-out type of love story and the musical biopic. It’s a surprising and delightful feat in our current landfill of miniseries about real-life events, anchored by two electric performances.
