Oscar winner - Best Actress

Renee Zellweger gives an Oscar-worthy performance as Judy Garland in director Rupert Goold's JUDY. Born Frances Gumm, Hollywood starlet Judy Garland became a household name following the release of The Wizard Of Oz. Lorded over by MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer, young Garland's life was a highly choreographed affair lived in front of camera lens. Years later Garland (Zellweger) is a brittle shadow of the upbeat young woman audiences had fallen in love with, struggling financially and rarely seen on-screen. Invited to London to perform a series of live shows, Garland embarks upon what she hopes will be her comeback but soon discovers that past demons are hard to leave behind.

Thoroughly inhabiting the role of tarnished star Judy Garland, Zellweger gives a monumental performance complete with musical numbers that capture the actress at her most electric. Co-starring Finn Wittrock, Jessie Buckley, Rufus Sewell and Michael Gambon, and based on the stageplay 'End of the Rainbow'.
