Movie Review: Jessica Lange is Patsy Cline !
Summary: 4 Stars
While I'm not "Crazy" about the way Patsy Cline is portayed in this film (she wasn't an angel in real life, but she wasn't the devil they portrayed her in this flick either), I think Jessica Lange does an outstanding job as Patsy, and is the best one I've seen yet to play her. She captures the spirit and spunk of Patsy, and Ed Harris does a good job as Charlie Dick, Patsy's less than cordial husband. I can't believe people actually think Beverly D'Angelo was a better Patsy Cline in Coal Miner's Daughter. She didn't even come close. I also am glad that Lange did not use her own voice, but on perhaps a few hidden tracks in film. This is because this film has converted many into liking Patsy Cline because all her original vocals are on here. People who can't stand Country Music have drawn to her music through this medium. So I have to say all in all its a good film.Movie Review: A double-edged sword?
Summary: 4 Stars
I believe this movie is a double-edged sword. It's obvious there are a lot of inaccuracies in this film. However, this movie also served to create a whole new generation of Patsy fans. I first saw this film in 1991 when I was 12 years old. I knew nothing about Patsy Cline before watching the movie. But the music and 'general' story line captivated me. I became a genuine Cline fanatic- and am still one to this day. It's very likely I would have never heard of Patsy Cline if it weren't for this movie. I wonder how many others could say the same?
I would recommend this film to anyone, but would caution them to view it for what it is- Hollywood entertainment 'based' on Patsy Cline's life. It is by no means a documentary.
Movie Review: A Good Addition for Patsy Cline Fans
Summary: 4 Stars
For those who are fans of Patsy Cline, this is a good addition for a collection of her works. This is also a good companion flick to Coal Miner's Daughter as Patsy was influential in Loretta Lynn's career. Sweet Dreams does follow, to a good extent, the career of Patsy Cline, but focuses more on her personal life than her career. Still it is a good movie and, of course, the music is great.Movie Review: Thanks!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got it so quickly, thank you! I bought this as gift for a huge fan for there birthday and due to your swift shipping I was able to make it in time for the big day. Big smiles were had by all! The only belly ache...some of the prongs were broken that hold the dvd in place, it was a little scratched. I still played beutifully with no hic-ups. Thank you for the prompt shipment!Movie Review: Patsy Cline
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like country music this is a must have. There will never be another singer like her. It is such a warm and heartbreaking story of her short life.
