God, she's good. She's endlessly bombarded by the same questions over and over again by interviewers and she answers thoughtfully and respectfully. I'm sure that can't be easy

[TaniaMarie]

Seeing what I’ve seen of Renee’s performance, I say she is very well-deserving of an Oscar! I’m so blown away with the pieces I’ve seen thus far. Amazing!

[whitedove]

She is always interestingly articulate..and real too.

[Ernie]

Delightful, humble, super talented and gorgeous. A true movie star, actress extraordinaire. I love Renée!!! I hope this Mickey Dean role gets Finn more film opportunities. He is a really good actor.

[juliabel]

I remember Judy Garland, so well! She was amazingly talented, but also very complicated. It seemed impossible that anyone could portray her adequately. But Renee has definitely captured the essence of Judy!

[kittydoes]

Super love her light to no make up look in her recent interviews and yet still look beautiful and gorgeous 💕

[RS-oity]

She seems shy & vulnerable - likeable. Very talented actor. She rocked Chicago👍🏻!

[michaeldelia]

At first i thought renne? But she can sing. She is humble. But i kept seeing all interviews, movie releases i thought she could do it. . She became not the celebrity, but.. judy. She became judy. Oscar worthy. Rene was amazing in becoming an icon in one period of her life. Judy was queen, rene was her princess. Thank you

[DanielePimentel]

She's so humble and sweet! One of a kind woman. 😍

[suealder]

[brianschon]

[siddharthnaagar]

Renee is the greatest actress of her generation

[adrianlee]

I first saw the Judy trailer a few days ago just cold not knowing a thing. Took me a few seconds but I figured out it was Renee. Make up people will get an Oscar they did an awesome job and so did Renee. TourDeForce

[WiGgYof]

It's odd... when I heard that Renee Zellweger was doing a Judy Garland bio-pic I thought it was crazy that she was picked. Seeing clips, it actually works really well. She isn't doing an impression of her, truth is she doesn't sound much like her, but she seems to get the nature of who Judy was in her later years.

[denisespurlock]

I can't wait to see this movie Friday.

[mickeymouseable]

this is a lovely, respectful interview. I wonder if it's because they're women talking about one of the greatest female performers ever.

[CraigSlivka]

for most performers tripple threat means actor, singer, dancer (Judy could do all three with such ease) and for Judy she was also a quadrupple threat, stagr, screen, radio, and tv. TV did taake her a little longer to get comfortable with the medium, but she was able to move back and forth between all four mediums with such magic, which made/makes her the greatest entertainer of any century.

[kennetpon]

If anyone is deserving of a tribute film it's Judy Garland called the greatest entertainer by the greatest entertainers. watching this I can see that Renee has her moments. And what made Garland this amazing Entertainer is that she gave every performance everything she had even when she failed she was giving her all when she was performing it was like putting the plug in the socket live electricity. Lightning in a bottle Renee just does not have that

[SpidermanBob]

I have finally seen this movie on the last year of the wonderful Judy Garland's life. Renee did a wonderful job on portraying Judy. And I wonderful if Judy's children have seen this film althou they said that they would NOT go see it. Lorna Luft has said on a utube posting that if you want to know more about her mothers work, watch some of her movies and TV shows.
And I thought that the ending of the movie was not correct because it looked like that Judy and her 5th husband had a fight and broken up and Judy was again alone. This was not true. Judy and her husband Mickey Deans were still together when Judy died in their bathroom. He found her in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Did anybody else notice this oversight in watching the film ?

Stunning and talented Renee. Lovely Beyonce.
