Title: Best Biopic Of A Musican To Date
Review: With the recent flood of biopics (Ray, Capote, Finding Neverland, etc.), I feared that this latest entry would be another painfully predictable story, especially since I already knew Cash's story. Luckily, my fears were never realized. Walk The Line is an exceptional movie (much better than Ray, a movie that always demands to be compared with WTL). Joaquin Phoenix completely nails Cash, and vividly and effortlessly depicts Cash's struggles and triumphs. He creates an empathy for Cash that few movies can rival. Reese Witherspoon is spectacular as June Carter; she brings to light the extreme impact her friendship had on Cash, and plays an important role in saving him from his drug addiction. Overall, this is one of the most enthralling non-fictional movies I have ever seen, and I highly recommend it.
