Matt Brunson Film Frenzy As a narrative feature, it’s shaky; as a vehicle for Judy Garland, it’s a must-see. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A significant rendering for Judy Garland fans, I Could Go On Singing is deserving of wider renown than merely the last star vehicle of a legendary performer. Rated: 3/5 Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Miss Garland can act almost as well as she can sing, and she is expertly supported by Dirk Bogarde as her exlover and Gregory Phillips as their son. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row [Garland] left us with a final statement that is perhaps one of cinema's great farewells. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Retro Set It's a 99 minute heartbreak. Rated: 8/10 Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Judy Garland's last film is a must see for her fans. Rated: B Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

S R Painful to see Garland in her last year. She is still powerful and will always be a Hollywood legend. Saw on TCM. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Angelo R One of my favorite Judy Garland movies. Really shows off her acting skills and a great chance to see her concert performances. Love it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my all time favorite singers/actresses, I can't believe I've never seen this movie. Yes, it's slim on plot line but what musical isn't.???. Her hair is abysmal but I'm so glad to have seen Judy singing again. Love you Judy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Very moving. It is more common in films that a Mom raise a child that seldom has little or No contact with the dad. Here it is the opposite. Dirk Bogarde plays the responsive parent, but he is portraied as a stiff bore. In this film Judy Garland shows She is a great actress as well as a Singer. I think the film is a little sentimental. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I found the film boring. The film "Judy" is a better biographical film about her. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The way she gets geered up before the Palladium is mesmorising Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
