“Walk the Line” is another Bio-pic that is very well written and contains some mighty fine acting by Joaquin Phoenix (Johnny Cash) and Reese Witherspoon (June Carter). These two performers sing the songs themselves and the work they do in this film is some of their best. There is no doubt in my mind that they both will not only be nominated for an Oscar in the Best Actor and Best Actress category, but that they both will win an Oscar.
While “Walk the Line” was well made, it is not considered a family film by Dove standards. The obscene language, the adulterous affairs and Cash’s drug addiction put it out of reach to receive the Dove Seal.
I expect “Walk the Line” will be a box office and critical success.
