Oscar nominations on the horizon for Phoenix and Witherspoon

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2005)

Terrific film, the lead performances are spectacular. Special kudos to the music editors, the sound was one of the best I have heard on film. This movie reeks of Oscar nods.The Cash/Carter duet numbers give you goose bumps, their chemistry thru their music gives you chills! A moving story, not your standard bio pic, and clears up all the Johnny Cash myths out there. Technically, quite an achievement for a new director (or is he?) and there is not a false note in this film. A must see, and you don't have to be a country music fan to appreciate the genius of Johnny Cash, and the appeal of June Carter.
Too bad Johnny and June cannot see it, they would be so pleased.
