Somewhat better than your standard Oscar baiting biopic (Zellweger is more understated than I anticipated and I'm glad the movie focused on a narrow span of time) but ultimately the movie is empty of any compelling ideas outside of stating the obvious about Judy Garland.
-
Renée Zellweger stars as Judy Garland in the rather formulaic biopic Judy. Based on a stage play, the story follow actress and singer Judy Garland in the winter of 1968 when she went to London to perform in a series of sold-out concerts. Zellweger gives a strong performance (both acting and singing), but the script is pretty weak; never really explained how she became a washed up star or her depression and addiction issues. And there are also a couple of time jumps to further confuse things. Still, Garland's struggle does show through, as does her unique soul, and talent. Judy has some problems translating from stage to screen, but it still manages to be a fairly compelling character drama.

I don't want to dismiss the hard work that Zellwegger put into playing a version of Judy Garland, but I do want to dismiss the script entirely. Judy takes the most boring, trite and overused direction that it possibly can at every single opportunity.

In my opinion, Zellweger's performance is the most overrated this year. The film is fair at best. The movie dragged too much to culminate in a beautiful performance during the last scene, but it wouldn't be enough to save this slow biopic.
