Judy (2019 Rupert Goold)

Who Goold? Made film of Fiennes's Richard III, then King Charles III, an imagining of Charles becoming king, then this, which was written by Tom Edge (Strike), from Peter Quilter's play.

This is really successful, Zellweger's Judy perfect but Jessie Buckley also great in supporting role. The others don't really matter, through we should mention Darci Shaw as young Judy.

The Hackney Empire stands in for the Talk of the Town, beautifully photographed by Ole Bratt Birkeland.

Melanie Ann Oliver knows when not to cut - more later.
