I just got home from seeing this. Considering my ADHD, this is a film that held my attention the entire time. I didn't think it was too long at all. It was a beautiful tribute to their lives.
From what I've read,some family member of Mrs. Cash#1 didn't agree with the way she was portrayed. Keep in mind the movie was made by June and Johnny's son ,John Carter Cash. He said they have every right to disagree but that he was doing the film as a tribute to his parents.
I think Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix definitely deserves Oscars for the performances. Considering neither one had prior musical training prior to shooting they did extremely well.
One of my favorite scenes had to be when June's parents confront Johnny's drug dealer as he is trying to drop off the drugs.
Is it true that Joaquin Phoenix was hand picked by Johnny Cash?
