IMDb plot summary: An original movie about the friendship between country-music stars Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn.
Directed by Callie Khouri. Starring Megan Hilty, Jessie Mueller, Kyle Schmid, and Janine Turner.
Well, this did exactly what a musician's biopic is probably supposed to -- it made me want to go seek out these artists' music. I really have no knowledge of or connection to Patsy Cline or Loretta Lynn, so I have no clue how accurate this is to their lives, but I did find myself fairly engaged in their stories. This is largely due to musical theater veterans Megan Hilty and Jessie Mueller being very compelling performers. The script seems to go back over and over again to the same predictable beats, but their performances make it (mostly) work.
