Review of Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) by Matthew S — 22 Aug 2015
Michael Apted's film of Loretta Lynn is a solid film. It captures both the beauty and the pain that created this amazing artist. And, Sissy Spacek doesn't even appear to be acting. She simply IS Lynn.
Also more than worthy of mention is Beverly D'Angelo's all too brief role as Patsy Cline. It may not attempt to go too far beyond a standard rags to riches trope, but it is still a great film.
