Review of I Could Go on Singing (1963) by Mloy X — 03 Aug 2013
Jenny Bowman (Judy Garland): I can't be spread so thin, I'm just one person. I don't want to be rolled out like a pastry so everybody can get a nice big bite of me. I'm just me. I belong to myself. I can do whatever I damn well please with myself and nobody can ask any questions.
The pacing of the film was a bit too slow for me, which made it kind of boring at first but watching Judy Garland sing was absolutely mesmerizing. Overall, this movie was so sad because the line between Jenny Bowman and Judy Garland blurred when she says the speech about being spread too thin, so much so that you can really sense the pain in Garland's voice and maybe a glimpse of what she thought of her manic Hollywood career. It was really heartbreaking to watch.
