Pick of the Week
George & Tammy
Most vintage country stars lived lives worthy of the ripest fictional melodrama. So it was with George Jones and Tammy Wynette, whose explosive relationship is brought to life in this new drama. When Tammy first meets George, she’s plain old Virginia Pugh: married to a bitter songwriter and dreaming of a big break. But inevitably something clicks and, before she knows it, she’s hitting the road, bewildered kids in tow, heading for fame, fortune and heartbreak. Jessica Chastain plays Tammy with just the right mix of cagey melancholy and headstrong recklessness, while Michael Shannon’s George is a road-worn drunk with a longing for redemption. It’ll be fun while it lasts … Phil Harrison
