Not a pedestrian effort

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2019)

Gaining a lot, I'm sure from being familiar with its subject, as someone who never knew of Johnny Cash until watching this (cut me some slack, I was 12), this was still a vivid and well characterised story of all the highs and lows of stardom.
Efficiently paced considering we cover like, 30 years, the movie end where it needs to end and becomes a creative romance along the way that steers clear of any sentimentality.
In short, excellent for what it is but you got to have a real appreciation for it's trying to do. It's such a "grown ups movie".
