Editorial Review:
Sissy Spacek won a much-deserved Oscar for her lead in this entertaining biography of country-music legend Loretta Lynn. British director Michael Apted (Gorillas in the Mist) brings fine texture to the Kentucky backwoods section of the film, where the teenage Loretta meets her future husband (Tommy Lee Jones), who ultimately pushes her into show business. Lynn's adult life is well covered, from her spouse's philandering to her own on-stage crackups; but between the chapter-and-verse recollections, the script by Thomas Rickman is layered with life and moments of great humor. No wooden portrait, this is a vibrant film made outstanding by the colorful performances of the two leads, as well as Beverly D'Angelo and the Band's Levon Helm. --Tom Keogh

"One Of The Best Bios Of All-Time!"
2009-07-09 - Sissy Spacek won the 1980 Academy Award as Best Actress playing country music legend Loretta Lynn. Spacek was actually Loretta's first choice when asked who should play her. Based on the autobiography by Lynn, "Coal Miners Daughter" continues to be one of the best biopics Hollywood has ever produced. Loretta's hardships growing up in a small coal mining town in Kentucky, her marriage at 13 to the man of her dreams, the birth of her children, and her eventual stardom, are all covered nicely in this beautiful film. Tommy Lee Jones is excellent as Loretta's husband and Beverly D'Angelo is superb as Lynn's best friend and idol Patsy Cline. Both Spacek and D'Angelo also did all their own singing for the movie.
Among the many special features on this DVD are interviews with Loretta Lynn, Sissy Spacek, and others. There is also a wonderful commentary track by Spacek and Michael Apted who directed the feature.
The movie is a little over two hours long and comes in anamorphic widescreen.
For lovers of country music Hollywood is currently working on a feature film about one of Loretta's best friends, Dolly Parton. The movie is expected to be released in the next two years.
