Jude Dry indieWire A finely-crafted documentary. Rated: A- Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Stephen Dalton Hollywood Reporter [A] conventional but briskly entertaining TV bio-doc... Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Tori Brazier Flickering Myth Sid & Judy is essential viewing for any fully-fledged Judy Garland fans, as much as for anyone with a casual interest in learning more about this signing icon. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report A beautiful tribute to a star whose legendary status only appears to grow with time, 'Sid & Judy' is another fascinating look at one of Hollywood's most tragic figures.

susan j Well-made, informative, but rather sad documentary about Judy Garland's life with all "narration" taking the form of people speaking about Judy at the time, Judy speaking herself, or the words of her husband. Sid Luft. Many performances, and some revealing outtakes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member After so many other documentaries and books, I didn't think there was much more to learn about Garland. Wow! I was surprised with "Sid and Judy." Through Luft's and Garland's own words, accompanied by new film footage and photos, this documentary further illustrates why Garland still is so loved. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review kevin w There's plenty of inside dirt on the show business luminary known as Judy Garland here, and most of it truly like a train ride to Auschwitz, inexorably depressing because you know how it's going to end. But two significant gems shine through, making this feature must-see: one is the exceptional, undeniable talent for which she is well known. The other, not so well known, is the uncanny will that put it all out there - a once in a lifetime marvel to experience and most certainly at the heart of her enduring popularity. To see her dig deep into the well of her psyche and pull up chunks of golden glory, it's a sight indeed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sort of underwhelming to me, but definitely worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Hsjddidkjdkfkkfkffkfkfkffiofif on kgkfkkf Jan jdsjsjdjdjdjd Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member By far the ultimate Judy Garland doc. Rare footage, new audio and lots of Judy Judy Judy. If there was any doubt that this was the greatest entertainer of all time you can erase it after watching this.
