Superb

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2011)

I do like biopics a lot, I find them interesting, and not only was Walk the Line interesting, it was also truthful and compelling. The cinematography and editing are top notch, and the costumes/clothes and location work are nigh on perfect with a real sense of elegance about them. The songs and music are absolutely wonderful, the script is of exceptional quality, the story is well paced and easy to get into and the direction is excellent. And to top it all, the characters are portrayed in a truthful and sincere manner, while Joaquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon for my mind give career-best performances. In conclusion, a superb film and out of the movies of 2005 only Brokeback Mountain beats it. 10/10 Bethany Cox
