I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.
We now know a lot of the story is embellished, but Sissy Spacek proves to be the incredible actress she is from her acting to singing.
Really great performances from Spacek and Jones, one of the better biopics
Love the story of Loretta Lynn. Love how sissy speck perform all the songs.
Very excellent bio on Loretta Lynn with Sissy Spacek brilliant in the lead role
Relatable biopic with an actually engaging story. Sissy Spacek is perfect as a rags-to-riches icon.
The only reason this film isn’t awful was Sissy Spacek’s outstanding performance. Sorry to say I didn’t like Jones or the pacing.
I didn’t care for this one she makes everyone from that area look to smart.
Not bad. Not great. For an older movie, it was watchable.
Wonder how close to truth this is? Fun time watching Tommy Lee Jones drive a jeep up a mountain side.
