Moviecut—Patsy & Loretta

Two very talented women with marvelous voices are cast as Patsy and Loretta in this Lifetime movie. I was blown away by Hilty however. Her portrayal of the bodacious and larger than life Patsy Cline was so convincing that I found myself smiling whenever she was on screen. The script was typical Lifetime stuff and undeserving of what they could've given to the roles.

I didn't expect to like this movie and I ended up loving it. Jessie and Megan absolutely nailed their parts. Listening to Jessie's Kentucky accent was mind-boggling - she sounds exactly like the folks from Eastern Kentucky (I live in Kentucky). Megan was absolutely incredible. She brought Patsy back to life - more so than Jessica Lange in Sweet Dreams or Beverly D'Angelo in Coal Miner's daughter. Love, love, love this movie and I am now a huge fan of Jessie and Megan.

It seems dialogue doesn't matter much. I could not understand way too much of what they were saying. Watched on Netflix and there was not a CC option. Didn't care for the story line. Love Coal Miner's Daughter, this doesn't hold a candle to it.

I'm a big fan of Patsy Cline, but never knew some of the details shown in movie nor of the friendship between the two and what they shared. Just a great movie.

No closed captioning made it difficult to enjoy. The actress who played Lorettta Lynn looked far to old for the part. Key parts seemed were missing. Where were the kids Loretta already had?

A well made film depicting the friendship between two queens of country. The tone felt sincere and yet respectful. Both actresses played their roles well and they had good chemistry. A heartfelt tribute and well told story.

Both actresses have great chemistry together and do a fine job as country legends Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, but Megan Hilty is truly outstanding as Cline. She fully embodies the character with great humor, warmth and vulnerability. The film's focus on how the women's friendship developed is refreshing, as opposed to the typical biopic storyline of "then this happened, and then I got famous, and then this happened..." It's also nice to have two wonderful singers playing famous singers, as opposed to actors lip syncing the legendary songs.

I really enjoyed this movie about Lorreta Lynn and Patsy Cline. I really loved the end where Patsy was singing with Loretta in spirit.
