Renee was magic. Pure talent, and since Judy was such a HUGE talent, this couldn't have been easy. She literally transformed in to Judy. The script was weak, though. This could have been so much darker, revealing and soul shaking. Renee was perfect, but it didn't tell Judy's story. They didnt get into detail about Judy's treatment at MGM, her serious, serious addiction and her struggles with her even more talented daughter Liza. Anyway, Renee couldn't have been better, but she definitely carried the movie on her own.
