Excellent; stunning lead performances, an emotional and musical triumph.

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2006)

A bit late, but I finally got to see Walk The Line. Just a biopic of a flawed character who had the great idea to play a prison as his comeback gig? No. Beautifully directed, well-performed throughout, with a totally believable script, and two of the most stunning lead performances you could ever wish for.
It's sad to check the awards this film received, and see time after time that Reece W won best female actor while Joaquin P was only nominated for best male actor. She undoubtedly deserved her awards - it's one of the finest performances I have ever seen in a movie for years - but he is pretty much up there with her in every way. I just hope he didn't go to many of the ceremonies, because his superb portrayal deserved equal success, not also-ran status. Gritting one's teeth and smiling for the eighteenth time could turn a man to drink and drugs.
Great singing and playing, great acting, well shot, well scripted .... I loved this movie!
