Hard to believe Phoenix didn't win an Oscar for his portrayal of Cash. Still the best music biopic to date

June Carter: You can’t walk no line. Johnny Cash: Because you’re mine, I walk the line.

Phoenix and Witherspoon represent Cash’s troubled relationship really well. Phoenix in particular gives his all to portray The Man In Black.

This is a textbook music biopic, to the point of feeling cliche at times. The performances elevate it beyond being meh.
