Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2017)

A story about redemption with great all around acting, writing, and directing. The music is pretty good, too, making it more enjoyable. Reese Witherspoon won the Oscar for best actress, well deserved, for her portrayal of June Carter. Joaquin Phoenix was nominated, but lost, even though he was definitely deserving for his outstanding performance of Johnny Cash. This is just a solid movie and even a bit underrated. It's easily one of the best films of the second half of the 2000s decade. It's also a great love story and story about friendship and family. It brilliantly brings legend Johnny Cash's humanity, human side to life- what inspired him, his upbringing, struggles, and family life.I wish they still made movies like this in recent years.
9/10
