Synopsis

End of the Rainbow depicts the final months of the life of Judy Garland. Frail, broke, and crippled with insecurities, Judy comes to London to perform a six-week series of performances at The Talk of the Town nightclub. She arrives with Mickey Deans, her younger fianc茅/manager whom she met in America when he supplied her with the drugs on which she depends. Switching between hotel room and the nightclub stage, Judy struggles to face her demons with the support of devoted pianist, Anthony. End of the Rainbow creates a fascinating portrait of a performer who was both brilliantly talented and deeply flawed.
