A good movie

Posted : 6 years, 6 months ago on 24 September 2017 06:22

To be honest, I have to admit that I had actually never heard of Loretta Lynn before watching this movie but since this movie seemed to have a pretty decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, first of all, even though I'm not a huge fan of Country music, the songs written by Loretta Lynn were really good and it was quite impressive that Sissi Spacek did her own singing, even live for most of the scenes. And, of course, it was an incredible story, even if some elements were not completely true (for example, Loretta Lynn herself apparently lied for decades about her age and she was in fact sixteen years old when she got married). Still, even if the whole thing was well made and the actors involved were all pretty good, especially Spacek who won an Academy Award for her performance, it was still a fairly straightforward music biopic. Indeed, especially from the moment she was discovered and became famous, it became seriously generic and the whole thing went into auto-pilot until the very end. I was also surprised that there was no comment at the end telling us what happened during the following years in her life (basically, she made a successful come-back and remained one of the biggest Country singers). Anyway, even if it was nothing really groundbreaking, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
