Joaquin Pheonix at his best!

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2019)

This movie has to be in my Top 20 movies of all time. I never really heard about Johnny's personal life before this. I could definately recognize a lot of the songs, which was a little treat of nostalgia. After watching the movie, I watched clips of the real Johnny Cash and oh my! How well done was that impersonation? I am forever a fan of Joaquin's style of acting. He just is the part. Whether it's Gladiator, Her, Walk the Line and countless others.
And Reese Witherspoon did not disappoint either! The duo have great acting skills, chemistry and not to mention singing abilities.
I thoroughly felt invested and captivated till the very end.
Great casting, great script, great music!
