About Coal Miner's Daughter - 25th Anniversary Edition

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 Amazon.com essential video

True Life

Love it. So much to get out of this movie. Best acting, great music. Lost count how many times viewed and will again. Sissy Spacek always great (see her in Raggedy Man) also Tommy Lee Jones. Scale of one to ten, ten being best,this is an eight. June 18, 2008

AWESOME MOVIE.
I LOVE this movie. Definitely worth buying it online because I couldn't find it anywhere else. Definitely a collectors item if you're into that sort of thing. Sissy Spacek looks JUST LIKE Loretta when she was really young. I watch this movie at least once a week. LOVE IT! May 2, 2008
