Not bad biopic of country music star Loretta Lynn. It takes some liberties with the truth, although Lynn herself has lied about her past (she was not 13 when she married as she claimed, but 16). The great Sissy Spacek is the reason to watch this. She is great as always. She does her own singing and sounds uncannily like Lynn. Costar Beverly D'Angelo also does her own singing as country music legend Patsy Cline but D'Angelo doesn't fare as well in this department because she can't come close to replicating Cline's Beautiful and unique singing voice. (the makers of the Patsy Cline biopic SWEET DREAMS smarter and had the star of that film Jessica Lange lip-sync to Cline's original recordings) The film is unfortunately brought lower by the unwelcome presence of hillbilly ball-gargler Levon Helm, but he doesn't sing any Band songs, thank god.
