Excellent Movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2005)

I've seen them all; "Sweet Dreams," "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Elvis," "The Doors," "Great Balls of Fire," "The Buddy Holly Story." This movie, by far, is one of the best yet. I rank it right up there with "Coal Miner's Daughter" as far as the talent involved and the preparation the actors made to play these roles. I have not been a big Joaquin Phoenix fan, but the way he sings is phenomenal. He starts off tentatively and you can see his talent grows as he becomes more confident. Reese Witherspoon is an absolute doll in the role of June Carter. Her mixture of strength and vulnerability mimic the real June Carter so well that, while the physical resemblance is not there, the emotions certainly are. I HIGHLY recommend this movie to everyone. I think I'm going to have to go see it again.
