Title: Gimme More Cash
Review: I didn't grow up a country music fan, but I remember my father speaking highly of Johnny Cash. I watched this film with little knowledge of Cash's life and troubles, but walked away moved by his and June Carter's commitment to wrestle with life.As so many have pointed out, the acting in this movie is stellar. Phoenix is one of my favorite actors of this generation, bringing depth and intensity to his roles. Witherspoon has always been a natural on the screen, but she truly shines in this story. The cinematography is also fantastic, capturing light and mood in a beautiful balance.I walked away from the movie challenged by the artistic drive of the characters, touched by the fearful acceptance of love by two hurting people, and wanting more Cash. What about the next 35 years of their lives together? Surely there's more rich material in this couple's history.Now I too shall speak highly of Cash to my children.
Is the review positive or negative?
