PATSY & LORETTA – Back in 1981 Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for her outstanding portrayal of Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner’s Daughter. That film revealed the close friendship between Loretta and Patsy Cline. This film from 2019 is a deep dive into that relationship. The dichotomy and attraction between these two iconic country music divas is very much on display and played convincingly by both actors who also do their own singing. Jessie Mueller nails Loretta’s accent to a T. Not a lot of new info in this film, but as a fan of Patsy and Loretta (the real folks), I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
