Melissa Maerz

Entertainment Weekly

To paraphrase something Parton once said about herself: It may look fake, but it's real where it counts. What counts most is the acting, which lends the story a naturalism that the script can't.

Guardian

Just like Dolly Parton, who is one of the best live performers I've ever seen, it is immensely watchable. However, for those who don't regularly visit the house of the lord, it will make your eyes roll like loose marbles in the back of a station wagon.

This is the time of year when sentimentality can be a warming thing, and Parton's Coat will keep an awful lot of people warm this winter.

Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/19 Full Review Audience Member Really good movie I thought we my wife and I actually bought the 2 movie DVD set. Its just set in the old times and reminded me of growing up on the farm. We didn't have much back then and we worked the fields and canned food and cut wood. Life was hard but it was simple. There was no internet, no cell phones, and outside and church was about it. But it hits home for my wife and I. Absolutely love both the movies.
