Inverno de 1968. Quase três décadas depois do sucesso de O Feiticeiro de Oz, que a catapultou para a fama com apenas 16 anos, Judy Garland (Renée Zellweger) vê-se sem trabalho nem dinheiro para sustentar os filhos. É assim que, a custo, aceita fazer uma digressão em Inglaterra. Desgostosa por ter de deixar as crianças nos EUA e insegura por tantos anos longe dos palcos, a frágil Judy vai tentar ultrapassar a depressão e a dependência de álcool e medicamentos, enfrentando os velhos demónios que carrega consigo.

This was Renée Zellweger? I bow down before her. I only knew Judy Garland from The Wizard of Oz, so I was quite interested in her story. Too bad that the creators portrayed her character in a rather negative light. It’s actually not a biopic where you root for someone, but more of a film where the lead actress delivers a performance beyond belief. And the ending? Simply brutal. A victim of her times, who has left behind a few songs that will probably never grow old.

Practically nothing is left here from the phenomenon that was Judy Garland. Judy is mainly an exhibition for the new artificial face of Renée Zellweger. At least the flashbacks from her youth are good, featuring the young actress Darci Shaw. Of course, the subplot dedicated to Judy Garland's fans is moving. In any case, it is better to choose a real film and get to know a true star.

Judy is the bittersweet story of a woman who loved her children and performing on stage above all else, but who lived her entire life under incredible pressure, which of course took its toll, even the highest. Her talent was a gift, but also a curse. Above all, Rupert Goold's film stands on a powerful theme from the life of one of the most famous actresses of Hollywood's golden era and on the breathtaking performance of Renée Zellweger, who quite rightly earned an Oscar, both for her acting and singing. Judy is proof that even celebrities are ordinary people with their own problems and personal demons, which the spotlight makes more visible and painful.

"The heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how they love you." - The Wizard of Oz +++ Since this is a biopic, I would welcome more information regarding the life of Judy Garland. The script deals primarily with the events surrounding the English concert tour a few months before her death. Since it was not a particularly interesting period, the plot drags quite a bit with a runtime of almost two hours. However, the film is lifted out of obscurity by Renée Zellweger's absolutely riveting acting and singing performance. Hats off to this lady, as she has become perfectly at home with the role of the fate-ravaged Hollywood legend. (65%)
