31 Days of Oscar: “Coal Miner’s Daughter”

The biographical film has clearly been around for some time, with varying degrees of success, which also seems to depend on the films subject(s). A biographical film, or biopic as they’re sometimes referred as, can do a lot of things, even if there are some slight liberties with history being taken. However, the one thing that seems to be tough to get right is the pace of the film. Depending on how the events unfold, you could be captivated the whole time or be working hard to keep yourself awake and even slightly interested.
