JUDY - Discover What Renee Zellweger Had Never Done Before

JUDY In Cinemas 2 October

Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town.

It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in THE WIZARD OF OZ, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown.

As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians, and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of romance seem undimmed as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband.

And yet Judy is fragile. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted; haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood; gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids. Will she have the strength to go on?

Featuring some of her best-known songs, including the timeless classic ‘Over the Rainbow’, JUDY celebrates the voice, the capacity for love and the sheer pizzazz of “the world’s greatest entertainer”.

What fascinates me is the whole package of the film. It's color, ir's design, it's light. It's a group performance. Those clothes....if you want to say only Judy can play Judy, I get it. But this looks like a dream I'd like to hang out in.

I haven't seen the movie but I don't think I would. I think Rene is very bright and a very good actress but there's no way she (or probably anyone else) could ever make this work. Kind of like the movie about Freddie Mercury. Can't even come close to what he was. Best leave the legends alone. Let them RIP. We remember them as they were and I think that's best.

Looks bad. And she doesn't sound like Garland. No thanks. The Oscar clearly a sentimental mistake.
