I imagine that Coal Miner's Daughter is much more impactful if you're a fan of Loretta Lynn and her music, or if you lived during the time when her music was really popular. As it stands, I don't fit into either one of those categories, so my experience with this movie is that it's a pretty standard biopic. I actually thought Sissy Spacek did a fantastic job becoming Loretta, and I'm impressed that she actually sang the songs in the film, but the story just floats lazily along and then it just ends. I may listen to Loretta Lynn's music a bit more, but I don't think I'll be watching this movie again.
