Critics Consensus

Led by a deeply committed performance from Renée Zellweger, Judy captures the waning days of a beloved performer with clear-eyed compassion.

Caroline Siede

AV Club

Garland's life is so inherently emotional and Zellweger's performance is so appreciably raw, that Judy manages to wring pathos by the end.

Rated: B-

Judy, a musical drama, is both a warm and loving tribute to the actor and singer Judy Garland as well as a cautionary tale about the pressures and impact of celebrity.

This is a movie that showcases Zellweger's considerable talents, and for that alone, Judy is worth the price of entry.

Rated: 3/5

The musical scenes are very strong, and there's a real edge as we wait to see if Garland will be on song or not. There’s a few show-biz cliches here, but as Zellweger knocks it out of the park as a heart-breaking, self-aware middle-aged heroine...

Rated: 4/5

Yes, Judy is a lot. It’s an intense journey, but it’s about extremes finding balance in the end.

Rated: 3.5/5

“Judy” is a rigorous character study about how someone could save others even if she cannot save herself. It is about a woman struggling to figure out how to give her kids what she could not give herself.

Fabulous dahling, simply fabulous. Renee Zellweger deserved all the accolades for her performance. Just wanted to jump through the screen and slap her silly. It was criminal what the movie studios did to her. My favorite part was when she was was cooking the "omelet" with the two guys and when they and other audience members stood up and sang along with Over the Rainbow.

It was good but not great. Her voice and portrayal of Judy was fabulous but the story line was short and it was slow moving.
