EditJudy (2019)

Præcis 50 år efter at sanglegenden Judy Garlands alt for tidlige død, portrætteres og synges hun af Oscarvinder Renée Zellweger i en pragtpræstation. Året er 1968, og Judy forbereder sig til et show i London. Hun charmerer musikere, venner, fans og sin kommende femte ægtemand, Mickey, men skrøbeligheden indeni er ved at slå revner i den pæne facade. Filmen udspiller sig, da sangikonet er 46 år og allerede har levet et turbulent liv. Ingen aner, at det hele er forbi om få måneder og at Judys allersidste koncert bliver i Falkoner Centret i København. Judy er baseret på Peter Quilters teaterstykke, End of the Rainbow.

Unrecognisable Renée Zellweger as the iconic Judy Garland. This film follows the American singer and actress during her stay in London in the late 1960s. She arrives in the UK capital for a series of sell-out concerts at the “Talk of the Town”. Almost 30 years after the role of her life in “The Wizard of Oz”, Judy’s voice is weakened, and depression, pills and alcohol have made her unstable. However, a start is a star and Judy proves it when despite of all her struggle she manages to make a great show, to touch people’s heart, to get all the applauses! Moreover, she even finds romance and a fifth husband - Mickey Deans. All who remember Renée Zellweger as the clumsy but sweet Bridget Jones, forget what you know - this is an entirely different Renée here.
