Sweet Dreams
DramaRomance115 min
Jessica Lange is Patsy Cline, following the velvet-voiced singer through the 1950s and 1960s as country stardom turns a working performer into a national name. The film stays with Patsy offstage as well, where love, marriage, and fame pull in different directions. Opposite Lange, Ed Harris figures centrally in the relationship that shapes her private life, so the story moves between the spotlight and the pressures building at home. Sweet Dreams traces the rise of one of country music’s defining voices while keeping the focus on the woman behind the songs.
