Judy Reviews

Yes, Judy is a lot. It’s an intense journey, but it’s about extremes finding balance in the end.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 21, 2024

“Judy” is a rigorous character study about how someone could save others even if she cannot save herself. It is about a woman struggling to figure out how to give her kids what she could not give herself.

This may ultimately not be an all time classic, but you will likely enjoy Judy on whichever format you watch it in...

| May 15, 2024

The film belongs to Zellweger; everybody does indeed love a comeback — and, as the film makes abundantly clear, Garland didn’t get to enjoy one, so the audience will be cheering on Renée’s.

Renée Zellweger is the best part about this movie with a weak script. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 26, 2023

Despite a few shortcomings, Judy is a moving portrait of a cultural icon and the perfect marriage of actor and material. After learning what really happened behind the scenes at MGM, you may never experience The Wizard of Oz quite the same way.

| Jul 19, 2023

Judy is an inventive take on the standard biopic formula that is every bit worth the Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA it nabbed for its lead.

| Sep 29, 2022

As an unvarnished look at Judy Garland’s last stand against her demons, the movie works better than expected.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 22, 2022

The film is worth seeing based on Zellweger’s career-best performance alone, that will surely land her an Oscar nomination, if not a second statue to go on her mantle.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 20, 2022

Goold's film, much like the later Garland depicted, isn't perfect, isn't what it might have been, but it delivers a knockout punch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2022

Zellweger is remarkable in replicating Garland’s mannerisms and cadence, which is often enough for a performance like this to gain accolades, but she also delivers great depth and sensitivity.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 30, 2022

While the film itself is a fine look at the latter years of Garland, it’s elevated by the remarkable leading performance. Zellweger’s performance is one for the ages.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 19, 2022

A work of fiction to be sure, it nevertheless captures what made Ms. Garland an icon, anchored by Zellwegers performancethe kind of give-it-her-all work that Judy became famous for.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 20, 2022

Judy is a deeply intimate look into the life of an icon as well as the ups and downs of fame.

| Feb 26, 2022

Judy prefers to celebrate Garland's life as a resounding triumph in spite of its obvious troubles.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 22, 2022

Renee Zellweger gives an Oscar-worthy performance.

| Aug 12, 2021

There is something very Sirkian about Judy, a heartbreaking authenticity beneath the dramatically artificial, a quality of a backstage view.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 31, 2021

Zellweger runs with it, both in her verbal introduction and a singing style that puts a different spin on a heartrending song. The performance cries Oscar.

| Jul 23, 2021

You can't have a film with only one character though - and Judy makes room for some interesting subplots...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 23, 2021

It's all about Renée Zellweger... This movie kind of puts [child stars] into a little bit of perspective.
