JUDY is a 2019 biographical drama film about American singer and actress Judy Garland and it will be on screen at the Adam Smith Theatre, Kirkcaldy, on Friday January 24.
Directed by Rupert Goold, it is an adaptation of the Olivier- and Tony-nominated West End and Broadway play End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter.
The film stars Renée Zellweger as Garland, with Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, and Michael Gambon in supporting roles.
The film follows Judy Garland's career during the last year of her lifetime when she relocated her stage career to Britain. After some initial success for a run of sell-out concerts at the Talk of the Town, in London, her efforts eventually stop making progress and even start to worsen due to health issues.
The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30 and was theatrically released in the United States on September 27, and in the United Kingdom on October 2. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with Zellweger's performance being acclaimed.
