As a Judy fan on a small scale (ie I don't purport to have seen all her films or to own all her songs, but I do love her voice) I really really enjoyed this film! The more I think about it afterwards, the more I want to cry.
In answer to the question above, I'd have thought it would be fairly obvious that Judy Davis was in fact lipsynching to the performances of the real Judy Garland...
I agree that Liza's character was not portrayed well enough, but I was very impressed at how like her the actress looked! Ditto the young Judy - she was amazing! Judy Davis was great as old Judy, but I wasn't really convinced by her performance as Judy in her twenties. However they had to do a cross-over somewhere, I suppose.
All in all, a beautiful film, never boring as some biogs tend to be. Congrats to everyone involved.
