This movie compelled me to write a review, so as many people as possible would know to invest the time to watch the amazing acting, directing, casting, as well as the amazing true story of the incredible Judy Garland told with detail, compassion, warmth and understanding, from the vantage point of Judy's loving daughter, Lorna Luft. How well we come to understand all the players in Garland's life, and how they crashed against her rocky shores. The role of controlling, powerful men, the government and its taxation policies, and her unfortunate dependence on pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol were too much for her to bear. Poor Judy Garland, and bravo Judy Davis for her portrayal. The story is also immensely moved along by recordings of the unforgettable diva herself.
