As the movie
Judy begins, the titular lead character of Judy Garland (Renee Zellweger) is struggling to keep herself afloat. Money is scarce, she's struggling to maintain custody of her kids and job opportunities are few and far between. The chance for some money emerges in a series of shows in Lond, England, though it means Garland will have to spend even more time away from her kids. That's a prospect she despises, but in order to make ends meet, she agrees to the tour. Doing these shows turns out to be complicated to Garland's struggle with addiction and her time doing this gig brings out both the worst and best elements of Garland's later years in show business.
