superior bio-pic. > minor complaints

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2015)

Cash, a true Sun Records Legend, and the only one to have a decent, I mean great, film made about him. forget about the Jerry Lee and Elvis movies, entertaining but generally useless. Phoenix here gets into the *Soul* of Cash, even gets to "channel" him vocally...not bad RP! Reese Witherspoon is absolutely fantastic, what an actress and what a portrayal. my "complaint" is that she apparently was made into a proto feminist and not the person absolutely enchanted by, and ready to marry JC at the drop of a guitar pick.
nutha small issue or two: movie runs 10-12 minutes too long. and this Reviewer does not think that June was a solo on Johnny's show for years but a member of the touring Carter Family which INCLUDED Johnny Cash! back to the good stuff: script, direction, acting, editing, cinematography > and now viewers can get a much better perspective on those many, many youtube clips!
