Judy (12A) at Ely Cinema
Led by a deeply committed performance from Renée Zellweger, Judy captures the waning days of a beloved performer with clear-eyed compassion.
It’s 1968. With her ex-husband Sid Luft (Rufus Sewell) demanding custody of her children and struggling to pay a $4 million tax bill, fragile Hollywood legend Judy Garland (Renée Zellweger) takes up a sold-out residency at London’s Talk Of The Town nightclub. Can she keep it together so the show can go on? Scenes of drug misuse, infrequent strong language.
Director: Rupert Goold.
Starring: Renée Zellweger, Jessie Buckley, Rufus Sewell, Michael Gambon, Bella Ramsey.
