SCREENING IN THE MARGARET RVER HEART NEW AUDITORIUM.

Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of love seem undimmed as she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of “the world’s greatest entertainer.”

Cast:  Renée Zellweger, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, Michael Gambon

REVIEWS:
“Led by a deeply committed performance from Renée Zellweger, Judy captures the waning days of a beloved performer with clear-eyed compassion..” – Rottentomatoes.com
“Judy broke me. Wonder, joy, melancholy and hope, these are the words that describe Renée’s stupendously charming performance and the film as a whole” – Ben Rolph (Discussing Film)
