When bringing Loretta s story to the screen, director Michael Apted assembled an incredible cast: Sissy Spacek (who won an Oscar for her role), Tommy Lee Jones, Beverly D Angelo and Levon Helm.

Sissy Spacek won a much-deserved Oscar for her lead in this entertaining biography of country-music legend Loretta Lynn. British director Michael Apted (Gorillas in the Mist) brings fine texture to the Kentucky backwoods section of the film, where the teenage Loretta meets her future husband (Tommy Lee Jones), who ultimately pushes her into show business. Lynn's adult life is well covered, from her spouse's philandering to her own on-stage crackups; but between the chapter-and-verse recollections, the script by Thomas Rickman is layered with life and moments of great humor. No wooden portrait, this is a vibrant film made outstanding by the colorful performances of the two leads, as well as Beverly D'Angelo and the Band's Levon Helm. --Tom Keogh

Levon Helm.......2007-06-27

Levon Helm's performance as Loretta's father has to be one of the all-time best supporting roles in film history. That scene at the railroad station always gets me.

Fabulous!.......2007-06-09

Now this is how you make a biography. Even if you're not a big fan of country music, you can't help but appreciate Sissy Spacek's portrayal of Loretta Lynn. From singing her own vocals, to the various stages of Ms. Lynn's life, very impressive. Also true of Beverly D'Angelo as Patsy Cline. These ladies can really belt out a song. Sissy Spacek won the 1980 Academy Award for Best Actress, and deservedly so. Tommy Lee Jones is also fantastic as Loretta's husband. An astounding cast beautifully directed by Michael Apted. Just a feel good film all around.

As a result of viewing this film, I even began following the career of Ms. Lynn, and read her autobiography of the same title. I guess I can now quote Ray Charles on his love of country music, "it's the stories". And no one can tell a story through song like Loretta.

I really love this movie, and appreciate the great transfer to DVD job by Universal Studios.

Moving true story.......2007-05-07

This is a fantastic movie if you like country music, it tells the true story of Loretta Lynn and her stuggle to become a country singer and her close friendship with Patsy Cline. A sad but beautiful movie.

Great Story...................But.......2007-04-11

Alot of bad language..... G**D*** was used a number of times. Caught me off gaurd when watching with children. Especially with PG rating. Without the language would have been 5 star for me.

THE BEST OF ITS KIND! SPACEK IS INCREDIBLE IN THIS!.......2007-04-08

This is about as good as it gets! Not only is the acting superb, but Sissy Spacek sings all Loretta's songs so well.....I bought the sound track to the movie. A classic that gets better with age. The 25th anniversay edition DVD is well worth it! A nice DVD transfer and some interesting extras.

It tries to educate.......2006-10-09

THe book is terrific but the movie feels like a not well done telenovela, every scene is about a dramatic cry. Feels like a movie for little kids. THe story is in itself a lesson but the movie is not. Good photography but as a movie it looks like a the pieces of a one year telenovela cut in pieces. THere are better Chilean movies, this is not one of them.

Masterpiece of the Chilean cinema.......2006-05-02

Description

Her rags-to-riches story captured the hearts of millions, and her voice made her country music's greatest star. Loretta Lynn's meteoric rise from Kentucky's mine country to the stage at the Grand Ole Opry is the stuff of Hollywood movies. But the true, authorized version of her rich life is told here for the first time. Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings, and Tanya Tucker describe their lifelong friendships with Loretta; and in a rare interview, former President George Bush recalls how she joined him on the campaign trail. Archival performance footage and hundreds of personal snapshots tell the story of her great career which included an incredible string of 57 top-20 country hits, from "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl" to "Don't Come Home a' Drinkin" and, of course, "Coal Miner's Daughter." Join BIOGRAPHY for this special tribute to the "simple girl" who transformed herself into the queen of country music.

How great it is to have Loretta Lynn on DVD!!! Done in 5.1, the sound is pretty good, the picture is tacky late 70's early 80's with the bad glare. But the point is the music. This is Loretta sounding her best and singing her greatest hits.
