Editorial reviews
SynopsisIn Karel Reisz's SWEET DREAMS, Jessica Lange stars as Patsy Cline, the ill-fated country singer whose trembling, emotion packed renditions of 'Crazy', 'Sweet Dreams', and 'I Fall to Pieces', made her one the most enduring voices in all of American popular music. Starting out by performing more standard country songs in little dives and honky-tonks in Virginia, Patsy rose to national prominence after her manager Ted Healy matched her voice to her now famous bittersweet love songs. Unfortunately, her own love life often mirrored the sadness in her songs. We see her choose to 'stand by her man', as Loretta Lynn sang in COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER (both films depict the professional success and personal heartache of women during the 1950s). Save for the music, this could be the story of any woman's love-hate marriage. Patsy's abusive husband is played with just the right amount of love and venom by Ed Harris. As Patsy's mother, Ann Wedgeworth turns in a superb performance as the sweet but steel-cored Southern belle on whom Patsy is as emotionally dependent as she is on her husband. Their scenes together, full of tangy Southern aphorisms, have a wonderful bite and sparkle.

review by: Snazzy date: 2007-03-31 rating:Fantastic!
I've seen this film so may times, and it's still as amazing as the first time.
The film is about the life of Patsy Cline from the time that she Charlie Dick. Jessica Lange plays her fabulously.
This film is for any Patsy Cline fan out there.
