Walk The Line - Kritiken

When he sang something, it stayed sung. James Mangold's "Walk the Line," with its dead-on performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, helps you understand that quality.

...with material this catchy and stars this winning, Mangold’s movie will have your feet tapping to the beat and your heart occasionally skipping it — just like all good pop music should.

Walk the Line handler om at turde gå linen ud og følger også sit eget dekret ved at give en forholdsvis nøjagtig, uforsødet gengivelse af legenden Johnny Cash.

...Phoenix becomes the tour-ravaged, fan-struck (and -fucked) road rat...

För en sann musikälskare är ”Walk the Line” väl spenderat cash.
