Excellent performance by Renee Zellweger. She deserves an academy award. Very realistic acting It's as if you are watching the real Judy Garland. Although, the movie is sad in that Garland appeared to have a sad life due to addiction, brought on by the movie studio as a child, they controlled and abused her mentally and in other ways. But the movie is very, very well done and excellent. Good to see such great acting.
