I just saw this for the first time and it was absolutely fantastic. Sissy Spacek was just crazy good as she played Loretta Lynn from age 13 to age 40ish. The extreme-rural Kentucky sets were extremely authentic looking.

Her marriage at 13 was uncomfortable to watch and the honeymoon scene really kind of creeped me out(I'm still trying to get it out of my mind).

Loretta Lynn won a Best Actress Oscar for this movie and she absolutely deserved it. Tommy Lee Jones was also great(maybe should have won best supporting).

I know that this is probably old to most of you but I recorded it off of TMC and finally sat down and watched it this weekend. What a great movie.
