this is the reason i love film

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2006)

I totally loved,and still love this movie. It was refreshing to see a film so well directed. for me the direction was almost flawless. It could have been overlong, as most biopic often are, but wasn't The two leads Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon were brilliantly cast. They were spot on with their portrayal of Johnny Cash and June Carter. it's without a doubt the best film i've seen this year. i mean i've seen it three times in the cinema already. You'll find it impossible to keep your feet still through out the duration of the film. Reason being, that the music sang by our two leads is so enjoyable. you just want to be part of it. I didn't expect them both to be able to sing so well! it was a real pleasure to witness. The chemistry between JP and RW is intoxicating. The acting of both of them is first class. Come Oscar time i wouldn't be surprised if one or both walked away with the top prize.
