'Judy' is out tomorrow.
ADVERTISEMENT Directed by Rupert Goold, Judy depicts the last year of Hollywood legend Judy Garland’s life. Broke, and without a manager or even a place to live, Garland agrees to perform a concert series in London during the winter of 1968. Four times divorced, she just wants to provide for her three children, all of whom are being used as pawns in a custody battle with her ex-husband Sid Luft .
This big-budget biopic can drag in spots and suffers from uneven pacing. And the flashbacks to Garland’s early days as a studio ingénue—in which she’s berated and plied with the pills that would ultimately be her downfall—come across a little ham-fisted. But the film is anchored by a strong performance from Renée Zellweger, who fully embodies the role.
