Beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2005)

This movie was outstanding.
As a big cash fan, i was ultimately impressed with how well this film captured the love of Johnny and June. The way Mangold captured every scene in this movie was just amazing.
Phoenix is amazing, but Witherspoon stole the show. For someone who never got to meet June Carter her performance was incredible and if she doesn't at least get a nomination for an Oscar i'll be mad. I might have enjoyed her performance a little more, had i not seen the real Carlene Carter in a play about her mother in July 2005, though.
I do think that Vivan Liberto was portrayed a little more negatively than she really was. But, i look at it as more of her being defensive rather than offensive. Ginnifer Goodwin did a great job as well as she always does in the movies i have seen her in.
All i can say is, this is the kind of movie you either love or you hate. And i loved it. Even if you're not a cash fan, it's a beautiful story, and you'll even find yourself laughing quite a bit throughout the movie. And in my opinion it was better than Ray.
