Walk the Line (2005, PG-13)
Beautifully done. Solid performances from all the supporting cast, a beautifully written screenplay and convincing singing on the part of the leads. They really are what rises this picture above the ordinary. Joaquin Phoenix is brilliant, heartwrenchingly so, especially when you consider the way his brother River died and how close to home the drug addiction and the loss of a more admired older brother storylines must have hit. Reese Witherspoon has one of those rare moments that few actresses experience, where the audience just sits back and is awed by how good they really are. She proves herself to be a true gem of the art of film making in this one. Strong yet touching and never over the top, she truly does beautiful work. Her Oscar was well deserved. This film is one of the few that lives up to its hype and then some. |
