Rating: 👌🏼 ok

A biopic about the incomparable Judy Garland that focuses on her haunted past and how that affected her adult life. For a film that begins with “Judy” sparkling like ruby red slippers, this film didn’t deliver much sparkle at all. Renee Zellwegger’s performance was incredible and I have nothing but awe for the way that she was able to such a well known legend. But the story arc didn’t really go anywhere, and the dialogue was bland and at points was incredibly on the nose. Overall, the film was fine, but I wouldn’t pay to go see it in theaters.
