Where "Coal Miner's Daughter" differs from most musical biopics is where its focus lies. It's about more than just the music. It's also a love story of two people who against all odds and turbulence prevail in the end.

As fragile as a girl, as determined as a man, as raw and real as a marriage, it's all conveyed in this biopic.

Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones are brilliant. The story doesn't stay with me the whole time. It slacks in some parts. For the performances and the dialog, it is a movie you should check out. Its on the top of my list as a very well crafted bio pic.
