Endearing tribute to one of the most beautiful American voices

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2019)

Endearing tribute.
The music Johnny Cash has made is dark, soulful, magnificent, chilling and uplifting. But what is especially terrific about this movie is Joaquin Phoenix' performance in which he uses his own singing voice. Joaquin Phoenix is literally singing the Johnny Cash songs himself, with stunning resemblance and heartfelt soul.
If that isnt enough to recommend this movie then there is a great tragic romance to be enjoyed as well, in which Reese Witherspoon shines brighter than ever in her role as the elusive girlfriend/bandmember of Johnny Cash.
For all those who have never heard of Johnny Cash, this movie is an excellent start to know this soulful artist. For any fan it is a feast to watch as well. His music lives on after his death, being one of the greatest American voices who has ever lived...
