As embarrassing as it sounds i had never heard of Judy garland before , my excuse is my age(27). Therefore I had not been dying to see this feature but it did grab my attention of course when Rene Zellweger won the Oscar for best female actress and after seeing this film I can see why .
Judy is set during her 1968 Visit to London which like the Marilyn Monroe film; " a week with Marilyn " works very well as it doesn't leave that awful typical biopic pattern where they try to cramp too much into nothing. This on the other hand allows us to take our time with Judy enabling us to get to know the character and with the support of timely flashbacks it begins to help us understand Judy and her crazy life in Showbiz .
Although the film is slow at times it is truly made up by how amazing Renee's performance is , a comeback of the ages.
