1. Judy Garland Biopic (2019) - Why it's so problematic
Judy Garland was undoubtedly a legend and the 2019 movie "Judy" tried to capture that. However, as far as biopics go this movie falls pretty short. This video discussed what the movie got right and what it got wrong. Renee Zellweger won the Oscar for this movie, but does she deserve it? Judy's daughters, Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft didn't bother to watch this movie, and I understand why.
