She came by the torchy emotions in her songs honestly, as shown in this biopic directed by Karel Reisz, rising from poor surroundings, literally forcing her talent on the Nashville establishment, all the while trying to survive an abusive marriage to a drinker. Though the script by Robert Getchell is standard Hollywood biography, the movie is more than watchable, thanks to a bone-deep performance by the always astonishing Jessica Lange and the counterpoint by Ed Harris as her loving but unreliable husband. The soundtrack features a basketful of Cline's hits, which Lange convincingly lip-synchs. <I>--Marshall Fine</I> Reader Reviews This story is such an amazing story. As I watch the scenes, I see alot of myself in Jessica who plays Patsy. Her music is simple, classic, and touches the soul. It is always sad to see a musician die, as it makes you wonder how much more could they have done. Ed Harris is phenomenal in everything he does, and the chemistry between the two actors plays well into the story.
