One of the Year's Best

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2006)

I have always said that it is much easier to enjoy a movie if you think it will be bad, because the good moments will jump out at you. With Walk the Line, though, I had been looking forward to it all year and was worried that I wouldn't like it as much. But was I wrong!
This movie is amazing! Every single bit of praise it has received is well deserved. Jaquin Pheonix does an excellent job at portraying Cash, and it really feels as if you're looking at the real thing. The show was truly stolen by Reese Witherspoon, though. From the first moment she ran on screen, you fell instantly in love with her. When her voice soared it was incredible. She truly deserved her Oscar and has definitely proved herself a truly wonderful actress. In my opinion, she has given one of the greatest performances of all time.
All in all, Walk the Line was by far one of the greatest films of the year. The music is excellent, the performances great. It rocks!
