JUDY – Renee Zellweger takes a stab at portraying iconic Judy Garland in this film of Judy’s last year alive. A few things bothered me watching this piece. One – Renee never really captured Judy’s essence for me. And she doesn’t look much like her either, even with hair, makeup and wardrobe to match the role. Two – the movie focuses only on the five weeks Judy was performing in London, with occasional flashbacks to her early years at MGM where her tender psyche was abused and molded into the vulnerable, tragic person she became. Lastly, I’m not sure how much of this film is factually accurate. I’m a Judy fan, but not of this movie. Skip it! Cheers!
