"You won't forget me will you?...Promise you won't" 'Judy' isn't anything special as a movie, but at least offers a respectful perspective on the final years of Judy Garland's life. Renée Zellweger, on the other hand, was the glue that hold this together. Her embodiment of Garland is truly remarkable. I didn't see Renee. I see nothing but Judy. Everything from her long eyelashes, crooked smile, and the brutal aftermath of Hollywood.

I found this touching as it's sad to think of any Hollywood stars from this golden age as having to struggle. We see Renee Zellwegger do a fine job at portraying Judy. However, I found that the story just wasn't enough to make a film from... Maybe we're all jaded now and almost expect this type of story. Who knows...? It felt a little empty for me. One thing that could fill those areas that needed beefing out are the musical numbers. But therein lies the other problem, it's not Judy's voice. And I think this is one occasion where we should have had lipsyncing to the artist themselves. Alluding to the Wizard of Oz isn't enough to portray her vocal abilities. I think we needed reminding of them here - and I think it would have better portrayed the tragedy of her passing at a relatively young age (for the time). 6/10 for me. Not unlike Stan & Ollie - but I think that had a little more substance than this.

This was a perfect reflection on this movie.

This film is terribly sad, sometimes brutally so, so, expect a cathartic response. Renée Zellweger is superb. Even though she sings Judy's songs (no voice overs here), we never fail to see Judy. Truly worthy of her Golden Globe nod, maybe there will even be Oscar attention (as I write this, the nominations and awards are just gearing up). As for the rest, Matthew Luke Brady has already said it beautifully. All I can add is my rating and I give the film a 7 (good) out of 10, although I think Renée deserves a 10 (outstanding). [BioPic]

Renee Zellweger did an amazing job portraying the icon that is Judy Garland. Such a tragic life eaten up by a machine that cared only for what it could get out of her until there was nothing left to give. Very sad indeed.

Admittedly I knew nothing of Judy aside from her role in Wizard of Oz and a pill issue, before seeing JUDY. After seeing this movie, I left with the same knowledge. You get the sense early on Judy doesn't have control over what she wants, despite being very vocal. She commands a room, yet cannot command her own free will. You feel for her. But. I also don't? The movie has me waiting for more, and it doesn't ever come.
