It’s been a few years since we’ve seen Renée Zellweger in a big starring role, and with Judy, she’s made a staggering comeback. Zellweger is almost unrecognizable as Garland, a woman born into show business who fell victim to the malpractices that chid stars endured.
Judy could bring Zellweger her second Oscar (she won in 2004 for her performance in Cold Mountain), as awards buzz and accolades continue to roll in since the film’s TIFF premiere. We sat down with her during the Toronto International Film Festival to talk about Judy Garland’s difficult life, the film’s stunning costumes, and the pitfalls of fame.
See this film with the Judy Garland fans in your life.
Whether you grew up with Garland or have seen The Wizard of Oz dozens of times, Judy will have you emotional with both the power of her presence, as channelled by Renée Zellweger, and the tragedy she experienced in her life.
