The series captures the story of that girl, Loretta Lane, who grew up in rural Kentucky. Loretta tried to experience her writing and singing for her rural songs in her early twenties. At the age of 25, Loretta began a battle with her reality and moved away from Kentucky's humble beginnings to stardom, soundtrack and rural music style.
The movie isn't great art, but it has been made with great taste and style; it's more intelligent and observant than movie biographies of singing stars used to be.
Though a classic rags to riches saga, this biopic of Loretta Lynn doesn't fall victim to cliches, and benefits immensely from the astonishingly authentic turn from Sissy Spacek, who does her own singing; even real-life singer Lynn liked the picture
This uplifting drama, based on Loretta Lynn's autobiography, shows how her marriage kept changing to accommodate her career as the First Lady of country music.
A thoughtful, endearing film charting the life of singer Loretta Lynn from the depths of poverty in rural Kentucky to her eventual rise to the title of 'queen of country music'.
