Zellweger gives a fearless performance in this movie. She captures the essence of Garland with such immersive nuance that the line between the actor and the role doesn’t only disappear, it’s as if it never existed.

...shows promise in the woman holding the strings.

...does surprisingly well at contextualizing Garland’s abusive childhood.

...at its strongest, the film captivates; it grabs you by the heart and demands adoration.

...brutal and brilliantly bizarre #MeToo fairytale.

When she goes over the rainbow, you’re going with her.

The best scenes in Judy are the small ones that happen off the stage...

...an enjoyable, sincere attempt to present a multi-faceted portrait of a Hollywood legend, bolstered by a strong Renée Zellweger.
