Variety Staff
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'.
Geoff Andrew
Highly conventional stuff, but lovingly constructed to produce unremarkable but heart-warming entertainment.
Roger Ebert
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.
