Judy - Blu ray (somewhere over the rainbow the Judy Garland story)

Judy is a 2019 biographical drama film based on the life of American entertainer Judy Garland. 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, Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, and Michael Gambon.

In 1939, 16-year-old Judy Garland is told by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio head Louis B. Mayer on the set of The Wizard of Oz, that she has a gift other girls do not. Her singing talent is nearly unmatched while she is able to surpass the success of Shirley Temple as a Hollywood child star. As her career takes off, Judy is forced by a ruthless studio minder to take amphetamines against her will and one such instance occurs during her date with Mickey Rooney. She is even denied permission to sleep due to her demanding schedule. Responding to Judy's criticisms, Mayer explains that she is exhausted by her working hours, even using emotional and physical intimidation to keep her in line.

In her forties, Judy has been performing with Lorna and Joey, her two children from her marriage to Sidney Luft, her third husband. Later, the trio try to check into their hotel but are turned away for previous nonpayment. Because of this, Judy is forced to return home to Sidney, who has since divorced her.

At a party, Judy meets nightclub owner Mickey Deans and they become friends. In 1968, she is told by her agent of England being free to host her upcoming performances but that the U.S. reception to her has cooled due to her performance unreliability and moodiness. She decides to embark for there, leaving Lorna and Joey with Sidney, which is difficult for her.
