‘Judy’ is a film of moments

Author:

Late actress and singer Judy Garland is a cult icon, whose career spanned 45 years, best known for her portrayal of Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ The quintessential girl next door actress, singer and dancer was as famous for her personal struggles as she was for her entertainment career. Judy focuses on her 5-week residency at a London theatre. Much like Stan & Ollie, this biographical character portrait explores Garland’s later life and career. In some ways a haunting echo of her most famous song, ‘Over the Rainbow’, flashbacks reveal some of her early trials as a young actress in a double standard Hollywood. While these moments shaped her career and health, they have a universality to them as many actresses will be able to attest to, even now.
