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 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.
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.
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!!!!
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.
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
I enjoyed Renee s interepretation of Judy very much, her nuances were so fine, Judy is not an easy character to emulate, but Renne did a fine job of capturing her very well
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!
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 can not wait to see this.....I've loved Judy since I was a small child.....even now I tears up when I watch old performances.....she was a treasure....
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😊😊❤😊❤
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.
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'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 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
I was so disappointed that Renée (who is a lovely singer and phenomenal actress) was not dubbed with Judy’s actual voice BUT in the days since I’ve watched the film, I’ve done what Renée mentions here - I’ve spent DAYS in a deep dive on UA-cam, seeking out Judy’s performances in a way I never had before. Perhaps the intention here is to give people a drive to go back and rediscover Judy Garland for themselves.
Oh wow, I didn't know that was her!, I thought it was an unknown actress, I just caught it one late night, I didn't look at the credits, she was very good, the ending had me in tears
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 :)
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 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.
Have you two found love?? Seem to have such a symbiotic relationship… trust, respect, mutual integrity. Nice to see your such repore between a man and woman
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...
Renee is very good as Judy but I think Judy Davis portrayed her a little better in "Me and My Shadows" It is interesting that Liza and Lorna did not endorse this latest version of their iconic mother.
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.
Zellweger will definitely be nominated if not win the Oscar this year. If you want to know more about the film, click here ua-cam.com/video/pxTEINWzGDs/v-deo.html
The hottest name in Hollywood Renee Zellweger , I mean anybody who has the nerve to even play The legend AKA Judy Garland deserves all that notoriety whether you want it or not 💔🌹💔
Celine Dion still uses a Mic with a cord a lot, I feel like it would be similar to using a Mic stand, There are singers known for their Mic stand use, like Steven Tyler.
Zellweger is the last actress I could imagine to portray Judy Garland. It's like Tom Cruise playing Gandhi, total miscast. Judy was a bubbly, big-eyed woman with a sincere, open look in her eyes. I cannot swallow Renee with her constant eye squinting and lip puckering doing Judy. There are thousands of actresses in Hollywood who would have done a much more believable job in portraying this icon. Whose idea was it to pick Renee????
I just wonder why they chose to go with Renee’s voice instead of Judy’s? Renee is certainly a capable singer, but when you compare the audio, it’s like night and day. You just can’t emulate Judy, vocally. Maybe they did it so the focus wouldn’t be on her singing, but instead on her character...but I feel like some will avoid the film, some very big Judy fans, because they won’t be able to tolerate the lack of Judy’s actual singing. I guess it would be like doing a Streisand film and not have Streisand’s actual voice. I don’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I would if they used actual Streisand performances. If I were Renee, I’d have been TERRIFIED to try to fill those shoes.
I saw the film .. it works... at this point her voice was a bit temperamental so it all added to the drama of the last few months of her life amid her personal struggles...
I am so glad I am not the only one posting about the non-resemblance of their voices as I have been doing this for 2 months already... But, I guess they had no copyright of the Judy Garland songs license or they just wanted to create controversy around this subject...
Verbs describe us - I think they are following a recent trend, actually. The Elton John biopic has the lead actor singing...and the Freddie Mercury biopic had much of the audio vocals replaced with both the lead actor at times and Marc Martel, a man who sounds virtually identical to Freddie. Judy is a much bigger personality, arguably, as would be Streisand, so I would’ve preferred to have them dub Judy’s vocals in...but I’m thinking they’re just going for the Oscar route? 🤷♂️
I don't doubt that she is in contention for an oscar................but, not because she deserves one! Renee Zellweger doesn't look, sound, or sing ANYTHING like Judy Garland. With those limitations, she deserves a sympathy oscar for the category, "most miscast actress in a film." In some strange way, she actually isn't BAD! That doesn't mean GOOD! The film itself traces the "train wreck" that was the last year of Judy's life. Is it sad? Yes. Is it somewhat entertaining? Yes. Is it exploitative? ABSOLUTELY!
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. 💋💋👏👏👏
Renee is a Star. period. I love her sincerity when she is interviewed.
People were in tears when I watched it and applauded after the movie.
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 !!
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.
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.
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.
"You can spend some DAYS on UA-cam " 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...
Renee deserves every award for this performance ❤️ she was amazing!
I love how Renee worked hard to pay respect to our Judy!
I smell an Oscar.
Extrodinary.....
So do I and Renee deserves it.
Yap
Can you smell what the Oscars are cooking?!!
Poor Jlo
She better be nominated for an OSCAR. RENÉE WAS EXCEPTIONAL.
I went and saw this last night. I loved it! Renee is extraordinary!! 💖💖
Renee's Judy gonna win another Oscar.
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!!!!
I love the detail did not know Judy was left handed. Love the info about Judy used the mic like a whip.
Judy was spectacular, I cried the whole time
Rupert Goold seems like a lovely sensitive and talented guy. Oscar for them both please.
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.
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
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 UA-cam 101!
They are looking at a screen. The actual movie is with black. But the white is a screen.
.....who cares??
a glimpse of the incredible artistry of movie making and the incredible depth that viewers couldnt even imagine exist in almost trivial details
She looks so great in this role !
She is so cute and beautiful
Renee was simply Judy! Loved the picture and casting. Great job
Renee was amazing and absolutely breathtaking in this movie. I'm still amazed 3 years after seeing it!
Beautiful film. Saw it last night and I was so impressed.
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
This film is actually exceptional. Everyone should check it out.
wow they made renees eyes so big. i cant imagine they could do that
I enjoyed Renee s interepretation of Judy very much, her nuances were so fine, Judy is not an easy character to emulate, but Renne did a fine job of capturing her very well
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.

Her last bit of By Myself in the film is extraordinary! It’s like Garland lept in her body!
@@ernestgutierrez6428 even Judy's worst day singing is still better than most IMHO...but I've been a fan since I was 8 years old so
Teena Apperson yes absolutely
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!

Her Oscar comeback will be marvelous!!!
Rene is excellent and deserves all the awards.
This movie is excellent. Go see it.
Zach T this Saturday for me , love her eversince
MY FAVORITE ACTRESS ALONG WITH CATE BLANCHETT....SHE HAS THE BEST LEGS IN HOLLYWOOD.
I can not wait to see this.....I've loved Judy since I was a small child.....even now I tears up when I watch old performances.....she was a treasure....
She won the Oscar! Makes sense!
I can’t wait for that night ... and the Oscar goes to 😊😊😊
This was my favorite scene of the film. Renée will certainly win come Oscar night.
Amazing performance
Oh i loved this! Thank you for sharing! X
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 looks beautiful!
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
This was Renee really singing. Fantastic performance.
So happy to see Renée back in the game 😄
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.
She is an incredible actress. And absolutely glowing here.
if she doesn't get the oscar I'm gonna be sooo mad
I’m not a big fan of Renee, but I think she was perfect to play Judy.
I am a big fan of Renee ; she is awesome and genuine, beautiful and talented Renee, love u !
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.
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
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.

Renee really became Judy for me in this movie.
9:33. Whoa.

I'm going to see this movie tomorrow! I'm so excited
Steven Stefano me this Saturday 😁
Omg her skin 😍💕

It was exciting to see you win that well-deserved Oscar Renee. You're as wonderful as Judy Garland herself.
It’s Oscar worthy
EXTRAORDINARY
OMG! This is a must see for me....
Daniel Logan its amazing
Amazing what the makeup people did to transform her face. It's really cool how they changed her eyes
She was fantastic !
Renee took on role completely using her voice otherwise it be lip sinking, phony!!! Steller performance through & through. Oscar worthy 👏👏👏👏
Oh wow, I didn't know that was her!, I thought it was an unknown actress, I just caught it one late night, I didn't look at the credits, she was very good, the ending had me in tears
OH MY GOSH, Zellweger sounds JUST LIKE Judy!!!! KUDOS to her 'Dialogue Coach'!!!!
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 :)
this movie was so good. Just,,, loved
Such a huge fan of Renee.
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
Yes it's a Judy biopic but who else can see the scenes as Roxie Hart's career as an ageing woman?
Yes

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!
I love Renné, they look like a good couple together 😉
She’s so cute!!! SUGAR HIGH!!!

The hottest name in Hollywood Renee Zellweger , I mean anybody who has the nerve to even play The legend AKA Judy Garland deserves all that notoriety whether you want it or not 💔🌹💔
so smart so beautifulso creative ty
Loved it
Fantastic movie...go see it!
Celine Dion still uses a Mic with a cord a lot, I feel like it would be similar to using a Mic stand, There are singers known for their Mic stand use, like Steven Tyler.
Does anybody else get Meredith Grey vibes or just me?
Brit Robinson No I thought the exact same thing. Could totally be related!
She's so cute
I remember when Wizard of Oz went into color.
Zellweger is the last actress I could imagine to portray Judy Garland. It's like Tom Cruise playing Gandhi, total miscast. Judy was a bubbly, big-eyed woman with a sincere, open look in her eyes. I cannot swallow Renee with her constant eye squinting and lip puckering doing Judy. There are thousands of actresses in Hollywood who would have done a much more believable job in portraying this icon. Whose idea was it to pick Renee????
She was good enough to win the Academy Award despite these 'flaws'...
I just wonder why they chose to go with Renee’s voice instead of Judy’s? Renee is certainly a capable singer, but when you compare the audio, it’s like night and day.

Because this is not a mimic of Judy Garland this is an interpretation of Garland which is the point of film.
I saw the film .. it works... at this point her voice was a bit temperamental so it all added to the drama of the last few months of her life amid her personal struggles...
I am so glad I am not the only one posting about the non-resemblance of their voices as I have been doing this for 2 months already... But, I guess they had no copyright of the Judy Garland songs license or they just wanted to create controversy around this subject...
