Outstanding

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2015)

In my Top 10 movies of the year, this is an excellent movie filled with brilliant performances.
Plot In A Paragraph: Based on the early life and career of country music artist Johnny Cash and his romance with June Carter.
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are simply both outstanding here and Witherspoon totally deserves her Oscar, whilst Pheonix can consider himself very unlucky to lose to Philip Seymour Hoffman (for Capote) and to be overshadowed by the wonderful Witherspoon. Ginnifer Goodwin, and Robert Patrick both offer solid support too.
I recommend anyone who is a fan of Cash's work, or people who know nothing About him to check this compelling movie out.
