Garland’s story has been told many times, and those who do not know about it generally don’t care. In times of turbulence, this film is hardly a celebration of enduring American values. Knowing the ‘true story’ behind the Garland legend shatters illusions and empowers new generations to be wary of the Hollywood dream factory. Read more

This biopic is undoubtedly limited in scope and does little to contextualize Garland’s starpower, but it does act as a compelling vehicle for an inimitable performance by Renee Zellweger. Read more

I liked this movie, but did I like it enough to rush and see it again? No, not really. Worth seeing though to appreciate the odds-on favourite (surely!) for the Best Actress Oscar of this year. Read more

Zellweger’s style and phrasing are on-point bullseyes, never shrinking from Goold’s extended takes and frequent closeups during some wonderfully vintage musical numbers. Read more

Zellweger is successful enough in evoking Garland with her singing to elevate Judy, despite its struggles to break new ground for Hollywood memoirs. Read more

This film rests entirely on Zellweger’s shoulders, but while it is true that her outstanding performance is compelling, she can only do so much to save the film, and, sadly, it wasn’t enough for me. Read more

Zellwegger is so much better than the material here. She’s elevating it beyond a total by the number biopic, which…it kinda is. Read more

Typical biopic procedures are found in a film that, just like its main character, is emotionally wobbly. Despite giving an idea of Judy’s personality and late life difficulties, this compassionate dramatic piece never punches hard. In place, it merely caresses faintly. Zellweger is the one who saves the film from the most terrible defeat. Read more

Judy toont op intense wijze de keerzijde van succes aan de hand van een ijzersterk spelende Renée Zellweger. Read more

Judy is misschien geen Bohemian Rhapsody, maar de acteerprestatie van Renee Zellweger moet niet onderdoen tegenover Taron Egerton in Rocketman. Read more

Judy is misschien geen Bohemian Rhapsody, maar de acteerprestatie van Renee Zellweger moet niet onderdoen tegenover een Rami Malek of een Taron Egerton. Zonder meer de beste rol uit haar carrière. https://www.moviepulp.be/66147/judy-recensie-op-film-fest-gent-2019.html... Read more
