Loved every moment

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2007)

I went to this film with little knowledge of Johnny Cash, he is now one of my favourite singers.
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon had great on screen chemistry. Playing two much loved singers can't be easy, but they pulled it off. I thought Reese Witherspoons attempt at a country might be annoying, but she made it work.
I liked the fact that people like Elvis featured, but they didn't make a major deal of it. It wasn't like "let's see how many impressions of famous singers we can fit into a film." It was a good way of showing how Johnny fitted into the music scene of the time.
I would recommend this film to people who know of Cash's music, but know little about his life. It was a great movie.
