“Judy”

I went into this with pretty low expectations, and that’s exactly what I got. Bleh. A very dull and not very interesting biopic of Judy Garland’s career as she approaches the end of it. She’s already a bit of a booze hound and I was hoping to learn a bit more than I really did about her life. Renee Zellwegger does a nice job imitating Garland, but I didn’t find her performance all that special. Her singing in the film was not all that great. She’s going to win the Oscar, but not so sure she deserves it over the other nominees. The movie kind of plods along and despite some nice music numbers, I really didn’t care about anything that happens. I really would rather have watched a documentary than this.
