Patsy & Loretta

Surprisingly well-wrought and well done Lifetime TVM of the relationship between Cline and Lynn is nevertheless limited by the scope and conventions of its "playpen"; with Khouri behind the camera, there's a strong echo of THELMA & LOUISE in the portrait and execution of this relationship and while searing insights are all but absent, and the familiar tropes of abusive partners, the price of fame etc are wearily trotted out, the fine performers (especially Hilty and Mueller) save the day.
