I hope she gets an Oscar. Judy gave several worthy performances in her life....maybe there will be a bit of justice. Bless both these wonderful talents.
One of the strongest Best Actress wins of the Century- her performance can stand alongside Charlize Theron (Monster) and Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose)
Ya know, i thought long and hard about this, and renee. I truly believe no one else could have done this. I didn't wanna see a dup but someone who could be her. Excellent choice. Renee became her. Renee is a class act. Oscar winner. She was Judy the fabulous.
I haven’t seen this yet, I’ve had some trepidation because I’m a massive Judy fan, I can tell when things are off. But this... works for me, I think. I’ll have to see it.
Renee has made a huge comeback with this movie. She was born to play Judy! Great job Renee! Saw it, and loved ❤ it! Especially your performance. I too smell an Oscar. So happy for you!!!!
sister antigone what does being white have to do with anything? You can be white and be unconventionally pretty. Cate Blanchett, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Barbara Streisand, are all examples. I think Renee is unique, maybe it’s her eyes that stand out to me.
I really wish the last scene would have been the real Judy Garland singing her last Over the Rainbow song to her audience showing her funeral procession in black and white. She deserved that respect. Just one song with her real voice to shine on the worlds rainbow once more.
I admit all of the other actresses up for nomination for best actress... however Renee blew them all out of the water with this performance. It wasnt even close In my book😊😊❤😊❤
Renee embodied the spirit of Judy I think..not an easy thing to do,it looks like the director and her really worked well together to get the soul of Judy over in the flim and I think they managed it and gave us some insight into Judy's life and all the things which took her to a rather sad and tragic ending in many ways.A hard hard life she lived
Glad to hear things are good and you two are back to the harvest....hope all has been great and I love these " field trips" when I get to go along with you......I remember the weather changing FAST last year huh !? Well take care and enjoy the journey !! Kelly is so beautiful...cute couple, good to see you enjoy a companion for travels !!
People, Renee is Marilyn ! Nothing like Judy Garland who never had a soft voice even when she was a child! They just chose her in order to create controversy and spread the buzz...
I love Judy Davis in all things, particularly 'Me and My Shadows'. The TV movie was well done, supervised by daughter Lorna Luft, signed off by the family and cast with actresses at the appropriate stages of her life. Nevertheless, the film told her whole life story through the lens of her daughter's book and Judy Davis lip-synched her entire role. 'Judy' isn't an autobiography - it tells the very last weeks of Garland's life. Weeks, not years. If you look at the real artist in photos and videos, it was clear she was on her last leg. Renee did her a kindness by portraying her as, even fictionally, someone who was still trying to hold it together. The truth was that she was a serious addict and she had wrecked her health trying to keep up a certain lifestyle. Renee didn't play only the dark side of her and she didn't try to mimic her - she paid homage to her and that, to me, is what makes her performance shine.
Am I the only one who doesnt think renee did an outstanding job on this? Sure she's a decent actress, but there was a scene here I skipped forward to and "judy" was very small on my phone so I couldn't see whose face it was clearly, but I knew it was renee by her over-dramatic gestures. Honestly, I really dont get the hype.
So haunting... The entire movie I just kept thinking she would die soon. To think she was broke and studios have made billions off of The Wizard of Oz. 😢
I suspect "Judy" will be my next favorite camp film, so bad it's great, perhaps even supplanting "Valley of the Dolls." There's a lot of silliness and- I use the term loosely- artistic license. Two things especially strike me. Firstly, Renee's talking and singing through the nose ("on the winnnnnng" at 2:15), a style Judy would find laughable. And it seemed quite important to make Judy's famous small, pointy nose larger and rounder (at 8:35). Like many others, I smell an Oscar. I also smell something else.
@@percyweasley9301 A bit late, but yes, I was waiting until I could get if for free. Total hogwash for people unfamiliar with Judy. Renee looks no more like Judy than the many drag queens right up here on RUclips. There's not even the slightest attempt to get things right about Judy, things documented by legitimate biographers. Renee and Rupert think they're great artistes (with an e) because they could fool the public. I say nertz... if anyone still says that.
I'm not seeing it here. Judy Garland was all Eyes and Voice. Renee Zellweger is neither. I like Zellweger and will leave final judgement till I've seen it, but the clips are not getting it. The mini-series project staring Judy Davis and Tammy Blanchard did come closer than what I am seeing here.
Judy Garland was in blackface in Babes In Arms. That movie came out in 1939, when blackface was not considered offensive. It was also in a minstrel show segment of the show in the movie. Get over it. It was a much different time!!!!!
@@georgelong9782 No sorry idk who you think you are , but I won't be getting over it . News flash idiot slavery for white people was inoffensive, but are we still supposed to be "Getting over it ?" No . Would you tell a Jewish person to "Get over the holocaust, because it was a "long time ago?" " , nope I didnt think so . So I suggest you do yourself a favor and have many seats , because you sound like a complete fool. Thanks
Do not tell me to get over it. Judy Garland was stupid to wear black face. She had no backbone. Most whites find black face funny and not offensive but blacks are not laughing at this disgusting history.
Watch Judy Davis in the movie Me and My Shadows sometime. She was brilliant portraying Judy Garland. The movie shows young Judy and then older Judy, played by Australian actress Judy Davis!
Renée is SO beautiful,not just her exterior or for her age. sure she's still got it, but it's te whole aura around her ... my gosh i want to be like her when I get to her age :D
Renee is not only a stunning artist, but her humanitarian and humble nature is magnificent. She never does an interview twice ~ she always gives very real, personal and interesting responses peppered with graciousness and her warm sense of humor. I just love her.
Only thing I'd change would be Judy's recordings instead of Renee singing (even though Renee is a good singer)...For me, as a lifelong Judy admirer, would appreciate hearing Judy's voice to bring the affect full circle.
I have heard this complaint, but the movie is representative of Judy in the last year of her life, she was ill - she had abused her body for years with drugs ( sadly) so by this point the iconic Judy voice was shot
finally somebody taking a stand on this subject because I am so tired of being the only one commenting on it! yes, you are right! Renee admitted she is not a vocalist! Judy Garland NEVER had a soft voice not even when she was a child!
Agreed.. I literally haven't even heard of this movie until TODAY! And no, I don't even live under a rock, there was just NOTHING, no previews, nothing- at least not in my corner of the world (Seattle area).
I'm really excited about this and think Renee will be great but I really wished they had used Judy's voice. Renee can sing but no one can sing like Judy.
@@JordanjamesX Maybe so but that rawness in her voice at that stage of her life would fit the story better, imho, instead we just have Renee trying to recreate something that can't be recreated.
Marisa Sullivan But it wouldn’t have seemed right at all to me. I wasn’t really a fan of how they did it in Bohemian Rhapsody as it even looked fake. Whereas Rocketman, where Taron Egerton actually sang, was a lot better even though he didn’t actually sound 100% like Elton. Judy is a great film and it wouldn’t be the same film if they had Renee lip sync. That’s just my opinion on the matter.
Renee is perpetually, physically 28 and I support that. Oi, if you can do it--mind body and soul? fine. Tell me your secret and/or how much you paid so I can prepare/save :)
The depth of analysis in describing the physical details is wonderful. Movies are highly dependent on cinematography to communicate a particular mood or time or place. As important as these things are I have to think that few people pay much attention to them. That is until someone like Emmanuel Lubezki wins three consecutive Academy Awards for Best Cinematography for Gravity (2013), Birdman (2014), and The Revenant (2015).
I'm sorry, I don't get it. I see and hear Renee Zellweger not Judy. Renee's a good actress and singer, I've enjoyed many of her movies, but I don't see Judy.
@@deannasoriano2771 When Rami Malik played Freddie Mercury, I forgot I was watching Rami Malik. He became Freddie Mercury. When Meryl Streep played Julia Child, she BECAME Julia Child and Meryl disappeared into the character. Renee never let me forget I was seeing Renee. She did not have the same success as the other actors I mentioned.
I watched this movie two nights ago and understand why the hype died. Much like ‘bohemian rhapsody’, something was missing. Both ‘Rocketman’ and ‘a star is born’ are movies that WRECK you. This didn’t quite get there. I felt bad for Judy and the product of the system she’d become. Hollywood should be ashamed. That being said, something was still missing.
Zellweger will definitely be nominated if not win the Oscar this year. If you want to know more about the film, click here ruclips.net/video/pxTEINWzGDs/видео.html
I can’t wait for the day Renee has a movie on HER life ‘cause she too is a very unique personality and has a very very unique way of speaking.💜
My god I said the same thing after I saw Judy .How wonderful she is. 💋💋👏👏👏
I hope she gets an Oscar. Judy gave several worthy performances in her life....maybe there will be a bit of justice. Bless both these wonderful talents.
This was one of the best performances I have ever seen on screen. Renee Zellweger deserves the Oscar
Rahul vinal Narayan That’s what I thought too - probably the best acting I’ve ever seen.
One of the strongest Best Actress wins of the Century- her performance can stand alongside Charlize Theron (Monster) and Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose)
I had gone to this movie with a very dear friend. When the movie finished -- I hollered -- OSCAR -- ha ha , turns out I was right !!
Renee deserves every award for this performance ❤️ she was amazing!
Renee is a Star. period. I love her sincerity when she is interviewed.
I love how Renee worked hard to pay respect to our Judy!
Ya know, i thought long and hard about this, and renee. I truly believe no one else could have done this. I didn't wanna see a dup but someone who could be her. Excellent choice. Renee became her. Renee is a class act. Oscar winner. She was Judy the fabulous.
I went and saw this last night. I loved it! Renee is extraordinary!! 💖💖

See it before you judge it. It really is a great film that was a love letter to Judy Garland
What did you think of Judy Davis when she portrayed Judy Garland?
@@bmd2905 haven't seen it either. I'll check 'em both out.
@wildasmilwy Don't watch it. You will be disappointed
I thought that movie was so good, both actresses did a great job ,,
Also that was written by Lorna Luft,, it was really a good movie
Renee has made a huge comeback with this movie. She was born to play Judy! Great job Renee! Saw it, and loved ❤ it! Especially your performance. I too smell an Oscar. So happy for you!!!!
What an odd choice to use white bars above and below the image. Black would have been so much less obtrusive.
Agreed, it also makes the screen look larger.... That's like RUclips 101!
They are looking at a screen. The actual movie is with black. But the white is a screen.
.....who cares??
Renee was amazing and absolutely breathtaking in this movie. I'm still amazed 3 years after seeing it!
I saw this movie and it was incredible!
This movie is excellent. Go see it.
Zach T this Saturday for me , love her eversince
Renee looks beautiful!
She won the Oscar! Makes sense!
Idk what it is about her, she’s not conventionally beautiful, but I find her stunning. Her flawless skin, her beautiful unique eyes, just gorgeous!
She’s thin, white, blonde, and pretty...what exactly IS your version of conventionally beautiful?
sister antigone what does being white have to do with anything? You can be white and be unconventionally pretty. Cate Blanchett, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Barbara Streisand, are all examples. I think Renee is unique, maybe it’s her eyes that stand out to me.
Oh i loved this! Thank you for sharing! X
This was my favorite scene of the film. Renée will certainly win come Oscar night.
She is an incredible actress. And absolutely glowing here.
Oh this movie looks very good
This was Renee really singing. Fantastic performance.
I really wish the last scene would have been the real Judy Garland singing her last Over the Rainbow song to her audience showing her funeral procession in black and white. She deserved that respect. Just one song with her real voice to shine on the worlds rainbow once more.
Maybe Liza and Lorna did not give permission to use Judy vocals?
@@JordanjamesX I can't imagine them wanting to hear Renee's version of Over the Rainbow instead even though she gave it a good try.
GREAT!!!!!!!! A second person with a hearing ear here! Thank God someone else could spot the STRIKING vocal differences between the two!!!
Agree
Omg her skin 😍💕
EXTRAORDINARY
I admit all of the other actresses up for nomination for best actress... however Renee blew them all out of the water with this performance. It wasnt even close In my book😊😊❤😊❤

if she doesn't get the oscar I'm gonna be sooo mad
OMG! This is a must see for me....
Daniel Logan its amazing
It’s Oscar worthy
this movie was so good. Just,,, loved
Amazing what the makeup people did to transform her face. It's really cool how they changed her eyes
Glad to hear things are good and you two are back to the harvest....hope all has been great and I love these " field trips" when I get to go along with you......I remember the weather changing FAST last year huh !? Well take care and enjoy the journey !! Kelly is so beautiful...cute couple, good to see you enjoy a companion for travels !!
I apologize for the wrong name !! Silly me
discovered the movie was coming out before the summer started and so I waited and waited, then I saw it opening night and it was worth the wait!
Yes it's a Judy biopic but who else can see the scenes as Roxie Hart's career as an ageing woman?
Yes
ME
Renee took on role completely using her voice otherwise it be lip sinking, phony!!! Steller performance through & through. Oscar worthy 👏👏👏👏
OH MY GOSH, Zellweger sounds JUST LIKE Judy!!!! KUDOS to her 'Dialogue Coach'!!!!
People, Renee is Marilyn ! Nothing like Judy Garland who never had a soft voice even when she was a child! They just chose her in order to create controversy and spread the buzz...

JamesJon1187 No, you're not alone. Renee's physical and vocal mannerisms are very apparent.
JamesJon1187 yup few of u but my suggestion is get to watch Judy Garland first
dynamite performance!
So haunting... The entire movie I just kept thinking she would die soon. To think she was broke and studios have made billions off of The Wizard of Oz. 😢

What did she do to her face?? I don’t mean for this movie
There is nothing wrong with her face ! She is simply beautiful !
i love her and I hate Judy Garland. So this is very conflicting to me.
This movie is Oscar bate and doesn’t deserve one
Insecurity equals plastic surgery. Yikes!
Bob Min you are awful.
He is soooooooo handsome omg..
Anyone notice how most posts about this movie is disabled?
Renee is spectacular on several levels. To take on Judy Garland is no small feat.

Can you smell what the Oscars are cooking?!!
Poor Jlo
People were in tears when I watched it and applauded after the movie.
I love Renée sooo much. What a talent, amazing. Oscar #2 will be well deserved.
You might be right. I haven't seen the film yet but something reeks of Oscar bait to me with this film.
she portrayed Judy with such compassion and heart 💙 brava Renée & what a beautiful voice!
"You can spend some DAYS on RUclips " she got that right. Lol. Looking forward to watching this!
She recovered her face and sounds natural and kind.
She should keep that face covered permanently.🤣
She reminds me of merideth grey
Killer legs, too...
She better be nominated for an OSCAR. RENÉE WAS EXCEPTIONAL.
Renée is SO beautiful,not just her exterior or for her age. sure she's still got it, but it's te whole aura around her ... my gosh i want to be like her when I get to her age :D
She is so cute and beautiful
Renee's Judy gonna win another Oscar.
I love the detail did not know Judy was left handed. Love the info about Judy used the mic like a whip.

Why promote a movie so much and then give such a limited release to less than 500 theaters?🤷🏽♀️
Not showing on our theatre
It is called buzz get word of mouth about the movie.
Movies use “limited reach” to get into the Oscar calendar timeline and then when it “banks” they “wide release” the film.
Because crap has a limited appeal?

I’m not a big fan of Renee, but I think she was perfect to play Judy.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!! NOONE can sing like Judy Garland!!!!!! Best singer in the world EVER!!!!!!
Disagree using Judy voice is not right the film based at end of Judy Garland life her voice has lost most of the power.
@@JordanjamesX Maybe so but that rawness in her voice at that stage of her life would fit the story better, imho, instead we just have Renee trying to recreate something that can't be recreated.
Then many would complain they used Judy's voice... Renee captured it using her voice as a complete Muse of character. BRAVO 👏 Oscar Worthy
