I just saw this film last night, and I must say that I thought it was incredible. There are some cliches and what not, but overall it is first rate. Both Phoenix and Witherspoon should get Oscar nods for this. I would say this is their best work by far. I knew generally of Cash's story, but I never realized all of the things he overcame....and how June Carter Cash helped him do it. There were so many touching, genuine moments in this film. I highly recommend it also!
