Summary
Biographical drama starring Renée Zellweger. In the late 1960s, Judy Garland attempts to revive her waning career by accepting an offer to perform a series of musical revues in London. Unfortunately, her years of poor treatment, ill health and substance addiction have taken their toll and an exhausted Judy proves to be increasingly unreliable and self-destructive.

Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Alan Jones
Renée Zellweger gives a tour-de-force performance as Hollywood legend Judy Garland in this knockout triumph geared around the star's notorious engagement at London's Talk of the Town nightclub, just six months before her tragic death in 1969. Jessie Buckley plays no-nonsense production assistant Rosalyn Wilder, who is assigned to keep Garland off the pills and booze as she battles for custody of her children and marries a fifth unsuitable husband, slippery Mickey Deans (Finn Wittrock). With flashbacks to Garland's experiences making The Wizard of Oz and Babes in Arms (revealed as the root of all her personal and health problems), and a very moving sidebar into her devoted gay following, Judy often makes for gut-wrenching viewing, but is also too gripping to turn away from. Zellweger sings the classic Garland songbook with such astounding accuracy there won't be a dry eye in the house come the sensational Over the Rainbow finale.
