of course , the tormenter sport Zellweger perform the vocal most excellently associated with Garland,“Over the Rainbow " , in compounding with a collage of clips that cover the broad strokes of the flick ’s narration . It ’s a passably effective juxtaposition at that , as the moony audio of the classicWizard of Oztune contrast with the base realness of Garland ’s experience and the price her ( somewhat actual ) lifetime in the spot take on her , both physically and psychologically . Zellweger ’s far from a stranger to musical performance on the big screen ( follow her Oscar - nominated turn inChicago ) and her sombre rendering of Dorothy Gale ’s classic solo seems pitch - perfect here .

Biopics and memoirs typically fare better during the fall than the springtime or summer , when interview are ( traditionally ) more in the mood for something a small quieter and smaller scale to watch .
